The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, the braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is pressed firmly. Considerably more
force is needed for this. The braking
distance is extended. Seek the
assistance of Chevrolet dealers
before continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been pressed once or twice. Braking
effect is not reduced, but braking
requires significantly greater force. It
is especially important to bear this in
mind when being towed.

If one of the circuits fails, the brake
pedal must be pressed with
greater pressure and the braking
distance may increase. Have the
brake system checked and
repaired by a Chevrolet dealer.
If the brake pedal can be pressed
further than normal, the brakes
may need repair.
Consult a Chevrolet dealer.

Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will
accelerate wear of the brake
components. The brakes may also
become overheated, resulting in
longer braking distance and an
unsafe condition.

After driving through deep water,
washing the vehicle, or using the
brakes excessively when going
down a steep hill, the brakes can
temporarily lose their stopping
power. This may be due to wet
brake components or overheating.
If your brakes temporarily lose
their stoppin
g power because of
overheating, shift to a lower gear
when going down hills. Do not
continuously
apply the brakes.
If your brakes temporarily lose
their power because of wet brake
components, the following
procedure will help restore their
normal performance:
1. Check beh
ind you for other
vehicles.
2. Keep a safe forward speed
with plent
y of space to your
rear and sides.
3. Gently apply the brakes until
normal p
erformance is
restored.
