1994 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD Owners Manual

might not adjust correctly. If you drive in that way, then -- very carefully --
make a few moderate brake stops about every 1000 miles (1600 km), so
your brakes will adjust properly.
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear.
Every time you apply the brakes moderately, with or without the vehicle
moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
As you make brake stops, your disc brakes automatically adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your rear drum
brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly
applying the brakes a few times.
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 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.

Khicle 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.
