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 moderate brake stop, your disc
brakes adjust for wear. If you rarely make a moderate or
heavier stop, then your brakes might not adjust correctly.
If you drive in that way, then
--
very carefully
--
make
a few moderate brake stops about every
1,000
miles
(1
600
km),
so
your brakes will adjust properly.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your
rear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by
backing up and firmly applying the brakes a few times.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system
on
a modern 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.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM
brake
parts in them, as your Cadillac does when it is new.
When you replace parts of your bralung 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.
