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 apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a 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. 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 need 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.
Battery
Your new vehicle comes with a maintenance free
ACDelco
R
 battery. When it’s time for a new battery, 
get one that has the replacement number shown on the
original battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco
battery. See “Engine Compartment Overview” in the
Index for battery location.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
