Replacing
Brake
System
Parts
The braking system
on
a modem 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.
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.
Battery
Every new Cadillac
has
a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have
to
add water to one
of
these. When
it’s
time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle
Storage
If
you’re not
going
to drive your vehicle for
25
days
or more, take off the black, negative
(-)
cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
I
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode.
You
can be badly hurt
if
you
aren’t careful. See
“Jump
Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around
a
battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn
how
to
prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature”
in
the
Index.
