Brake Master Cylinder
Your brake master cylinder is here. It is
filled with DOT-3 brake fluid.
Your vehicle is equipped with either Standard Power Brakes or the Anti-
Lock Brake System.
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
Dut 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.

If you have too much brake
fluid, it can spill on the
engine. The 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.
When your brake fluid falls
to a low
level, your brake warning light will
come
on. See the Index under Brake
System Warning Light.
What to Add When you do need brake
fluid, use only DOT-3 brake fluid-such as Delco Supreme
11@ (GM Part
No. 1052535). Use new brake fluid
from a sealed container only.
NOTICE I
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 catalog number shown on the
original battery’s label.
Jump Starting
For jump starting instructions, see the
Index under Jump Starting.
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.
x Batteries have acid that can
L burn you and gas that can
explode. You can be badly hurt if
you aren’t careful. See the Index
under Jump Starting for tips on
working around
a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to prepare your
vehicle for longer storage periods.
Bulb Rephcement
In this section you’ll find directions for
changing the light bulbs in some of the
