Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.
Your
rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if
you ever hear a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear
brake linings inspected.
Also,
the rear brake drums should
be removed and inspected each time the tires
are
removed
for rotation or changing. When you have the front brakes
replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
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 moderate brake stop, your disc
brakes adjust for wear.
If
you rarely make a moderate or
heavier stop, then your brakes might not adjust correctly.
If
you
drive
in
that way, then
--
very
carefully
--
make a few
moderate brake stops about every
1,OOO
miles
(1
600
lun),
so
your brakes
will
adjust properly.
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 Chevrolet 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 Chevrolet 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.
