The brake pads in your brake system may feature Brake Wear Indicators that will alert you when service is necessary. The indicators are metal tabs built into the brake pads. When the pads wear to the point that the indicators are revealed, the tabs will rub against the rotors when the brakes are applied, emitting a chirping, squealing or whistling sound. When you hear any of these sounds, it’s time to get your brakes checked.
Your vehicle may also feature a Brake Pad Life Monitor that uses front and rear thickness sensors to estimate brake pad wear. When service is needed, it will display a message in the Driver Information Center.
