Brake Wear
Your vehicle has disc brakes. Disc brake pads have
built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning
sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads
are needed. The sound can come and go or be heard all
the time your vehicle is moving, except when you are
pushing on the brake pedal rmly.
{CAUTION:
The brake wear warning sound means that
soon the brakes will not work well. That could
lead to an accident. When you hear the brake
wear warning sound, have your vehicle
serviced.
Notice:Continuing to drive with worn-out brake
pads could result in costly brake repair.Some driving conditions or climates can cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are rst applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
the brakes.
Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help
prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect
brake pads for wear and evenly tighten wheel nuts in
the proper sequence to torque specications in
Capacities and Specifications on page 5-105.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer/retailer if the brake pedal does not
return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign that brake service
might be required.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, the brakes adjust for wear.

There may be an accessory inator kit stored in the rear
compartment on the passenger’s side. It includes a
20-foot (6 m) hose with an air pressure gage and nozzle
adapters.
{CAUTION:
Inating something too much can make it
explode, and you or others could be injured.
Be sure to read the inator instructions, and
inate any object only to its recommended
pressure.
To use your accessory inator system:
1. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY or RUN.
2. Attach the appropriate nozzle adapter, if required,
to the end of the hose that has the pressure gage.
3. Attach that end of the hose to the object you wish
to inate.
4. Remove the protective cap covering the outlet.
5. Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
6. Press the accessory inator switch. The light in the
switch will come on to show the system is working.If the accessory inator system does not turn on or the
light does not come on, the fuse may be blown or
installed incorrectly. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-100or see your dealer/retailer for service.
Your accessory inator will automatically shut off after
about 10 minutes. The light in the switch will blink.
After about one minute you can use the system again.
Press the switch and the indicator light will come on.
Notice:If you run the accessory inator longer than
30 minutes at a time, you could damage the inator.
The repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Run the inator for short periods of time only.
After running the accessory inator for 30 minutes, wait
at least 10 minutes before restarting the accessory
inator.
To turn off the inator:
1. Press the switch and detach the hose, rst from the
inated object, then from the outlet.
2. Put the protective cap back on.
3. Place the inator kit tools in the pouch, and store in
the rear compartment on the passenger’s side.
To put the cover back on, line up the tabs at the bottom
of the cover and put it in place. Push down the tab to
secure the cover.
