Default Brake pads are covered under warranty, right?

I know, I know...everything except tires. At what interval do they change it? It's raining HARD outside right now (yes, my car is outside in the rain!) so I really don't want to take a look at the manual. I'm getting a squeeking noise coming from the rears...even a little while the car is moving...this is normal when the pads are worn down I guess, right? Anyhow, maybe I should get new pads...although the rears don't have nearly as much dust as the fronts. My car is currently at 19999...one more mile till I roll 20K. Thanks everyone!

Default I thought wearable items weren't covered?

Things like brake pads, winshield wipers, etc.

Am I wrong?

They change them when you ask them to. It's not on the service schedule.

So are rotors...have them check the rotors too (they probably will check anyway).

Default some wear items are covered for 12,000 miles...clutch, pads, rotors, etc.

at least that's what my dealer told me

Does this warranty include AudiCare (or whatever the extended warranty is called) cars? (Mine is a 66,000 miler with another 1 year on the plan...I'd love it if my dealer had to eat the cost of new pads and rotors.)

Tire are covered by tire manufacturer.
