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 topquality
GM
brake parts in
them, as your vehicle 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.
Hydro-Boost Brake System
The power steering pump also powers the Hydro-Boost. Refer to “Power
Steering Fluid” in this section when checking the fluid level or adding fluid.
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.
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.
Contact your dealer
to
learn how
to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
