Proton Saga Brake Maintenance Guide

Proper brake maintenance is essential for safe and reliable driving. For Proton Saga models, the braking system generally consists of front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, so the maintenance requirements differ between the front and rear axles.

1. Front Brake Pads
   • Inspect the brake pads during regular servicing.
   • Replacement depends on the remaining friction material, driving conditions and driving habits.
   • If you notice abnormal noise, reduced braking performance or uneven pad wear, have the brake system inspected.

2. Rear Brake Pads

• Rear brake pads generally have a longer service life than front brake pads.
• They should still be inspected periodically for wear, cracking or contamination.
• The rear drum and brake shoe adjustment should also be checked to maintain proper braking performance and handbrake operation.

3. Brake Fluid

• Brake fluid should be inspected regularly and replaced according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.
• Using the correct brake fluid specification is important to maintain proper hydraulic braking performance.

4. Front Brake Disc & Caliper
   When replacing the front brake pads, it is recommended to inspect:

• Brake disc surface condition
• Disc thickness
• Uneven wear or scoring
• Caliper piston and slide pins
• Signs of brake fluid leakage

5. Warning Signs
   Your Proton Saga may require brake inspection if you experience:

• Squealing or grinding noises
• Brake pedal vibration or pulsation
• Longer stopping distance
• Spongy or soft brake pedal
• Vehicle pulling to one side
• Uneven brake pad wear

Important: Brake pad and brake shoe lifespan cannot be guaranteed by mileage alone. Actual lifespan depends on factors such as driving habits, traffic conditions, vehicle load and braking frequency. Always inspect the brake system and replace components when they reach their service limits.
