Notice:
.,Continuing to drive with worn-out brake
pads
could
result in costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.
Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help
prevent brake pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect
brake pads for wear and evenly tighten wheel nuts in
the proper sequence to GM torque specifications.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
See
Brake System Inspection on page
6-
14.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer
if
the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or
if
there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign
of
brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together
if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your
vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality
GM
brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system
-
for example, when your brake linings
wear down and you need new ones put in
-
be sure
you get new approved
GM
replacement parts.
If
you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example,
if
someone puts in brake linings that are
wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your front
and rear brakes can change
-
for the worse. The
braking performance you’ve come to expect can change
in
many other ways
if
someone puts in the wrong
replacement brake parts.
Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco@ battery. When it’s time for a new battery, get
one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco@
battery. See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page
5-
12
for battery location.
Warning:
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
