Brake Wear

Your vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes

if it is equipped with the 3100 engine. It has four

-wheel

disc brakes if it is equipped with the 3800 engine.

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 may come and go or

be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except when

you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).

CAUTION:

The brake wear warning sound means that soon

your brakes won’t 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 may cause a brake

squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly

applied. This does not mean something is wrong with

your brakes.

Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help

prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect

brake pads for wear and evenly torque wheel nuts in the

proper sequence to GM specifications.

If you have rear drum brakes, they don’t have wear

indicators, but if you ever hear a rear brake rubbing

noise, have the rear brake linings inspected immediately.

Also, the rear brake drums should be removed and

inspected each time the tires are removed for rotation or

changing. When you have the front brake pads replaced,

have the rear brakes inspected, too.

Brake linings should always be replaced as complete

axle sets.

See “Brake System Inspection” in Section 7 of this

manual under Part C “Periodic Maintenance

Inspections.”
