Brake
Wear
Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make
a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are
worn and new pads are needed. The sound may come and
go or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving (except
when you are pushing on the brake pedal firmly).
The brake wear warning sound means that
sooner or later your brakes won’t work well.
That could lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have your
vehicle serviced.
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.
Free movement of brake calipers and properly torqued
wheel nuts are necessary to help prevent brake
pulsation. When tires are rotated, inspect brake calipers
for movement, brake pads for wear, and evenly torque
wheel nuts in the proper sequence to
GM
specifications.
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 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.
