Brake Pedal "ravel
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 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
1,000
miles
(1
600
km),
so
your brakes will adjust properly.
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.
