Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes
adjust for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on
a
modern 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 Geo 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 Geo has a Delco Freedom@ battery.
You
never have to add water to one of these. Men
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
Tf
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.
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.
