Buick regal 2002 Manual De Usuario

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 tighten wheel nuts in the
proper sequence to GM torque 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.”

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.

Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear.

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.
