Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if
there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake
trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for
wear. If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes
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.
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.
