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.
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 have
to
have new ones
put
in
--
be sure
you get new approved
CM
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.

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.
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.
Batteries

in
the Index

on
working around

battery without
