Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Unless you have the four-wheel disc
brake option, your Chevrolet has front
disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads are
worn and new pads are needed. The
sound may come and go or be heard all
the time your vehicle is moving (except
when you are pushing on the brake peda
firmly). 1 The brake wear warning sound
- means that sooner or later your
brakes won’t work well. That could
lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have
your vehicle serviced.

brake pads could result in rnctl\~
brake repair. Some driving conditions
or climates may
cause a brake squeal when the brakes are
first applied or lightly applied. This does
not mean something
is wrong with your
brakes.
Rear Drum Brakes
If you have rear drum brakes, they don’t
have wear indicators,
but if you ever hear
a rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear
brake linings inspected.
Also, the rear
brake drums should be removed and
inspected each time the tires are removed
for rotation or changing. When you have
the front brakes replaced, have the rear
brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced
as complete axle sets.

Headlights
Headlight Aiming
Your vehicle has a mini-quad headlight
system. These headlights have vertical
and horizontal indicators. When the
headlights are properly installed and
adjusted, and the vehicle is on level
ground, both indicators will read in the
center of the gage. If they do not, you can
adjust the aim.
A
To adjust the aim of your headlights:
1. Move your vehicle to a level surface.
Use a spirit level to be sure. Be sure
to remove any items that are not part
of your original equipment from the
trunk and passenger areas.
No one
should be seated in the vehicle and
your fuel tank should be about half
full. Check to be sure your tires are
at the correct pressure. There
are four headlights. Each one
has its own vertical and horizontal
aim position indicator. Each indicator
has its own aiming screw.

Be careful not to move the aiming screws
when
you replace the headlight. If the
headlight being replaced was properly
aimed, the new one will be also if it is
properly installed.

1. Remove the Torx@ head screws at the
end of the aiming ring. 2. The aiming ring will swing open like a
gate. Remove the aiming ring from the
assembly. Place it face down, with the
aim indicator
up. Be careful not to
damage the aiming bubble.
