Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modem vehicle is complex. Its
I
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
I
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. 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.
Battery
Every new Corvette 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 replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label. For battery replacement,
see your dealer or the Corvette Service Manual.
To
purchase a service manual, see “Service Publications” in
the Index.

(166 000 km) should be performed after 100,000 miles
(1 66 000 km) at the same intervals.
Footnotes
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
fdilure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the
completion of vehicle useful life. We, however, urge that
all recommended maintenance services be performed at
the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded.
‘$ Your vehicle has an Engine Oil Life Monitor. This
monitor
will show you when to change the oil -- usually
between
3,000 miles (5 000 kin) and 7,500 miles
(I 2 500 km) since your last oil change. Under severe
conditions, the indicator may come
on before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle more than 7,500
miles (1 2 500 km) or 12 months without an oil change.
The system won’t detect dust
in the oil. So if you
drive in
a dusty area, be sure to change your oil every
3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL
light comes on. Remember
to reset the Oil Life Monitor
when the oil has been changed. For more information,
see “Engine Oil Life Monitor” in the Index.
