NOTICE:
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts. For example, just
a
few
drops of mineral-based oil, such
as
engine
oil, in your brake system can damage brake
system parts
so
badly that they’ll have to be
replaced. Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind of fluid.
If
you spill brake fluid on your vehicle’s
painted surfaces, the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to spill brake fluid
on your vehicle.
If
you do, wash it
off
immediately. See “Appearance Care” in
the Index.
Brake
Wear
Your vehicle has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a
high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn
and new pads are needed. The sound may come and
go
or
be heard
all
the time your vehicle
is
moving (except when
you are pushing
on
the
brake pedal firmly).

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.
I
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.
