Brake  Adjustment 
Every  time  you  apply  the  brakes,  with  or  without  the vehicle  moving,  your  brakes  adjust  for wear. 
Continuing  to  drive  with  worn-out  brake  pads 
could  result  in  costly  brake  repair. 
Replacing  Brake  System  Parts 
The  braking  system  on a modern  vehicle  is  complex.  Its 
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. 
Properly  torqued  wheel  nuts  are  necessary  to  help 
prevent  brake  pulsation.  When  tires  are  rotated,  inspect 
brake  pads  for wear  and  evenly  torque  wheel  nuts  in  the 
proper  sequence  to  GM  specifications. 
Brake  linings  should  always  be replaced  as  complete 
axle  sets. 
See  “Brake  System  Inspection’’  in  the  Maintenance 
Schedule  booklet  under  Part 
C “Periodic  Maintenance 
Inspections.” 
Brake  Pedal navel 
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.  many  parts  have  to  be 
of top  quality  and  work  well 
together  if  the  vehicle  is  to  have  really  good  braking. 
Your  vehicle  was  designed  and  tested  with  top-quality 
GM  brake  parts.  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  approved  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.
