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 Pa&
The braking system on a modern
vehicle is complex. Its many parts ha
to be
of top quality and work well we
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 th,at 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.
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. Contact
your dealer to learn how to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
