Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is
filled
with DOT-3 brake fluid.
There are
only two reasons why the brake
fluid level
in your master cylinder might
go down. The first is that the brake fluid
goes down to an acceptable level during
normal brake lining wear. When new
linings are put
in, the fluid level goes
back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out of
the brake system. If it is,
you should have your brake system fixed,
since a leak means that sooner or later
your brakes won’t work well, or won’t
work at all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off’ your
brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t
correct a leak. If you add fluid when your
linings are worn, then you’ll have
too
much fluid when you get new brake
linings. You should add (or remove)
brake fluid, as necessary, only when work
is done on the brake hydraulic system.

L , fluid, it can spill on the engine.
‘-L: fluid will burn if the engine is
hot enough. You or others could be
burned, and your vehicle could be
damaged. Add brake fluid only
when work is done
on the brake
hydraulic system.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine when to check your brake
fluid. See “Periodic Maintenance
Inspections” in the Index.

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
Freedoma 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.
