CAUTION:

The brake wear warning sound means that soon
your brakes won’t work well. That could lead to
an accident. When you hear the brake wear
warning sound, have your vehicle serviced.

NOTICE:

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.

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 Section 7
of this manual under Part C “Periodic
Maintenance Inspections.”

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 brake stop, your disc brakes
adjust for wear.
