Brake Rotor:
FUNCTION:
A rotating disc helps slow or stop the vehicle when the brake pads press against its surface (disc brakes)
SIGNS OF WEAR:
Brake pedal pulsation (not to be confused with normal ABS operation), squealing or grinding noise, low brake pedal height, vehicle pulls to the left or right when brakes are applied.
Brake Pads:
FUNCTION:
Flat pads with frictional materials contact the rotor to help slow or stop the vehicle (disc brakes)
SIGNS OF WEAR:
Chirping, grinding or squealing noise, difficulty stopping the vehicle
DID YOU KNOW:
When you step on your brake pedal, you command a stopping force 10 times as powerful as the force that puts the car in motion. The brakes system can exert as much as 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of hydraulic pressure on each of the four brakes.
WHAT IT DOES:
The Brake System applies frictional force to the wheels to slow or stop the vehicle.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE:
The following inspections and maintenance procedures can help prevent potential brake problems:
Check brake fluid
level at every oil change. Replace fluid according to Owner's
Manual recommendations. Calipers and
wheel cylinders should be checked every brake inspection and
serviced or replaced as required. Inspect the brake lines for rust,
punctures or visible leaks (you
may be able to do this, but consult a qualified technician if
necessary) The following should be
conducted by a qualified technician: Inspection of the brake hoses
for brittleness or
cracking Inspection of brake lining
and pads for wear or contamination by brake fluid or grease Inspection of wheel bearings and grease
seals Parking brake adjustments (as
needed)
