Brake
System
Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. The
parking brake is self-adjusting
and
no manual
adjustment is required. You
may
need to have your
brakes inspected more often if your driving habits or
conditions result in frequent braking.
CalipedKnuckle Maintenance Inspection
If you operate your vehicle
in
a
highly corrosive
environment, as indicated
by
the shaded areas on the
map following this text, your vehicle may require
additional brake service. Refer to the appropriate
GM
Service Bulletin for the proper caliper inspection
procedure.
As
necessary, caliper pins and knuckle brake
pad abutments should be lubricated at every other tire
rotation. Also, see your
GM
retailer’s service
department or qualified service center for
additional information.
