Replacing Brake System Parts
The bralung 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
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, remove
the
black, negative
(-)
cable from
the battery.
This
will help keep your battery from
running down.
I
A
CAUTION:
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.
