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.
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.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also,
for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature”
in
the Index.
