Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer
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 make
a
brake stop, your disc brakes
adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal. your
rear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by
backing up and firmly applying the brakes a few times.
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.
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 vehicle 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.
