Brake Noise

During normal operation of the brake system certain

noises may be present from time to time. Occasional

⬙groan⬙ or ⬙squeal⬙ noises may occur during normal

operation of the brake system which may not be indica-

tive of a problem. These noises may be heard at any time

the brakes are applied but may be more noticeable during

the first few brake applications in the morning. Moisture,

hot or cold temperature, dust, and or other debris may

also contribute to the noise condition. Repeated or con-

tinuous noises during braking may be an indication that

the brake linings are worn and in need of replacement.

Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

This Anti-lock Brake System is designed to aid the driver

in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking

conditions. The system operates with a separate com-

puter to modulate hydraulic pressure to prevent wheel

lockup and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.

The system’s pump motor runs during an ABS stop to

provide regulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor

makes a low humming noise during operation. This is

normal.

When you are in a severe braking condition involving

use of the Anti-lock Brake System, you will experience

some pedal drop as the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

This is the result of the system reverting to the base brake

system and is normal.

Engagement of the Anti-lock Brake System may be

accompanied by a pulsing sensation. You may also hear a

clicking noise. These occurrences are normal, and indi-

cate that the system is functioning.

ABS Warning Light

The Anti-lock Brake System includes an amber warning

light. When the light is illuminated, the Anti-lock Brake

System is not functioning. The system reverts to standard

non-anti-lock brakes.
