REPUCING 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 Cadillac 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 Cadillac 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 catalog
number shown
on the original battery’s label.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened,
can
make wheel nuts become loose afkr a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel,
remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper
towel to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later,
if you need lo, to get all the rust or dirt off. (See “Changing a
Flat Til .’I in the Index.)
When It% Time for New Tires
One way to tell when
it’s time for new tires is
to check the treadwear
indicators, which
will
appear when your tires
have only
2/32 inch
(1.6 mm) or less of
tread remaining.
You need a new tire if:
0 You can see the indicators at three places around the tire.
0 You can see cord or fabric showing through the tire’s rubber.
0 The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut or snagged deep enough to show
0 The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
cord
or fabric.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired
well because
of the size or location of the damage.
