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.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
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 bc 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
modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have
to be
of
top quality and work wcll together
if
the
vehicle is to have really
good braking. Vehicles
we
design and test have top-quality
GM
brake
parts in them,
as
your Cadillac does
when
it
is new. When you replace
parts of your braking system
--
for example, when your brake linings wear
down and
you
have to have new ones put
in
--
be sure you get new
genuine
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.
