AUDIBLE REMINDERS

Brake pad wear warning

The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires re-

scraping sound when the vehicle is in mo-
tion. This scraping sound will first occur
only when the brake pedal is depressed.
After more wear of the brake pad, the
sound will always be heard even if the
brake pedal is not depressed. Have the
brakes checked as soon as possible if the
warning sound is heard.

for safety reasons a chime will sound and
at the same time, depending on the condi-

Indicators for maintenance

These indicators appear when the cus-
tomer set distance comes for replacing
tires or other maintenance items. You can
set or reset the distance for replacing tires
and other maintenance items.

WARNING

The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, in-
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Changing
wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance
and do-it-yourself ” section of this
manual. Many factors including tire in-
flation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and
when tires should be replaced. Setting
the tire replacement indicator for a
certain

driving

distance

does

not

mean your tires will last that long. Use
the tire replacement indicator as a
guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular
tire checks, including tire pressure
checks could result in tire failure. Seri-
ous vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to a collision, which could re-
sult in serious personal injury or death.

For scheduled maintenance items and in-

Maintenance Guide.
