Kia Sportage: Disc brakes wear indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new pads are required, you will hear a high-pitched warning sound from your front brakes or rear brakes. You may hear this sound come and go or it may occur whenever you depress the brake pedal.
Please remember that some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when you first apply (or lightly apply) the brakes. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with your brakes.
CAUTION - Replace brake pads
Do not continue to drive with worn brake pads. Continuing to drive with worn brake pads can damage the braking system and result in costly brake repairs.
Always replace the front or rear brake pads as pairs.
WARNING - Brake wear
Avoid applying the parking brake to stop the vehicle while it is moving except in an emergency situation.
Using the parking brake in such a manner will eventually lose braking performance, which could lead to a serious accident.
In the event of brake failure
If service brakes fail to operate while the vehicle is in motion, you can make
an emergency stop with the parking brake. The stopping distance, however, will be
much greater than normal.
