Brake Pedal Travel
See your retailer
if
the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there
is
a rapid increase
in
pedal
travel.
This
could be a sign of brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
Replacing B.rake 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. 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 Oldsmobile 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.
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.
