Brake Test

To carry out this test, proceed as follows:
^ Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80 - 32 km/h (50 - 20 mph) using light braking applications. At highway speeds of 89 - 97 km/h (50 - 60 mph), apply the brake using a light pedal force.
^ Accelerate to 89 - 97 km/h (55 - 60 mph).
^ Lightly apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to 30 km/h (20 mph).
^ A brake vibration noise can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can be heard upon brake application and diminish when the brake is released.
