Inspection
WHAT
TO
DO
Inspect the complete system. Inspect
brake lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition.
Inspect other brake parts, including
calipers, parking brake, etc. Check
parking brake adjustment. You may
need to have your brakes inspected
more often
if
your driving habits or
conditions result
in
frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can
indicate worn disc brake pads which
may need to be serviced, Also,
if
the
brake system warning light stays on or
comes on, something may be wrong
with
the
brake system. See ‘‘Brake
System Warning Light”
in
the Index. If
your anti-lock brake system warning
light stays on, comes on or flashes,
something may be wrong with the
anti-lock brake system. See “Anti-Lock
Brake System Warning Light”
in
the
Index.
