NOTICE:
Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind of fluid. For example,
just a few drops of mineral-based
oil, such as engine oil, in your
brake system can damage brake
system parts
so badly that they’ll
have to be replaced.
Brake fluid can damage paint,
so
be careful not to spill brake fluid
on your vehicle. If you
do, wash it
off immediately. See “Appearance
Care” in the Index.
Brake Wear
Your Corvette has four-wheel disc 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 pedal
firmly).
I NOTICE:
I
Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly 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. 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
As you make brake stops, your disc
brakes automatically adjust for wear.
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 Corvette 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.

wheel bolts, or wheel nuts, replace them
only with new
GM original equipment
parts. This way,
you will be sure to have
the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for your Corvette.

problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, headlight aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance, and
tire clearance to the body and chassis.
