3. Repeat the first two steps 20consecutive times, this should take
about five minutes.
4. After completing the 20 stops, cool the brakes by driving for 8 km
(5 mi) at 100 km/h (60 mph).
Alternative Closed Course Brake
Burnishing Procedure
This brake burnish procedure should
only be run on vehicles with a factory
equipped brake system.
This procedure should only be run on
a track and only on dry pavement.
Brake pedal fade will occur during this
track burnish procedure and can
cause brake pedal travel and force to
increase. This could extend stopping
distance until the brakes are fully
burnished. 1. Start track lapping at lower speeds and lower braking efforts for
three minutes of driving. Allow for
increased braking distances due to
reduced brake output.
2. After Step 1, increase speed and braking effort for the next six
minutes of lapping, gradually
ending up at 90% effort. Continue to allow for increased braking
distance due to reduced brake
output.
3. Cool the brakes by lapping with minimal light braking for six
minutes.
As with all high performance brake
systems, some amount of brake squeal
is normal.
Suspension
Track Prep —Camber Set
To achieve the maximum camber
setting for track use, follow this
procedure prior to the final track
alignment.
1. Remove the Upper Radiator Baffle and both front shock tower braces.
2. Remove the strut rebound stop.

7. With the car on the ground,reinstall the strut rebound stop and
torque it to 25 Y(212 lb in).
8. With the car on the ground, reinstall the Upper Radiator Baffle
and both front shock tower braces.
Torque the fasteners as follows:
A. Front tower brace mounting
bolts to 22 Y(194 lb in).
B. Front strut top mount nuts to 22Y (194 lb in).
9. Complete setting the track alignment per the following track
alignment specifications.

Tire Inflation Pressure
Guidelines
Tire inflation pressures affect vehicle
handling and tire life, and should be
adjusted for various types of tracks/
courses.
Inspect the tires prior to every track/
course session. Track/course driving
will reduce the tire tread life.
To maximize tire life, drive 800 km
(500 mi) prior to racetrack driving or
complete the minimum track running
that will increase the tire pressures by
35 kPa (5 psi). After this, immediately
let the tires cool to cold pressures.
Tire Inflation Pressure High Speed
See Tire Pressure for High-Speed
Operation 0371.
Tire Inflation Pressure for Track
Driving
For driving on a race course, if your
vehicle is equipped with 255/35ZR18
(94Y) and 275/35ZR18 (99Y) tires, set
cold (stationary) tire pressures to
30 psi. During track sessions, set the pressures at 35 to 38 psi for hot tire
pressures. If pressures exceed 38 psi,
bleed pressures down to 35 to 38 psi.
Return the tires to the recommended
cold tire inflation pressure when track
driving has ended.
Driving and Operating
{Warning
Operating the vehicle at high speeds
can be dangerous. Improper tire
inflation pressure can put
additional strain on the tires and
can cause a sudden failure. Make
sure the tires are in excellent
condition, and use the correct cold
tire inflation pressure for the
vehicle load and track/course.
{Warning
Tracks/courses put high loads on
tires operating at high speed, which
can lead to tire failure if not
inflated properly. Always limit
vehicle cargo to the driver plus one
passenger with no additional cargo.

VEHICLE CARE 339
{Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator
hoses, or other engine parts. They
can be very hot and can burn you.
Do not run the engine if there is a
leak; all coolant could leak out.
That could cause an engine fire and
can burn you. Fix any leak before
driving the vehicle.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle is
filled with DEX-COOL engine coolant.
SeeMaintenance Schedule 0408 and
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
0 417.
The following explains the cooling
system and how to check and add
coolant when it is low. If there is a
problem with engine overheating, see
Engine Overheating 0342.
What to Use
{Warning
Do not touch heater or radiator
hoses, or other engine parts. They
can be very hot and can burn you.
Do not run the engine if there is a
leak; all coolant could leak out.
That could cause an engine fire and
can burn you. Fix any leak before
driving the vehicle.
Use a 50/50 mixture of clean
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
coolant. This mixture:
.Gives freezing protection down to
−37 °C (−34 °F), outside temperature.
.Gives boiling protection up to
129 °C (265 °F), engine temperature.
.Protects against rust and corrosion.
.Will not damage aluminum parts.
.Helps keep the proper engine
temperature.
Caution
Do not use anything other than a
mix of DEX-COOL coolant that
meets GM Standard GMW3420 and
clean, drinkable water. Anything
else can cause damage to the
engine cooling system and the
vehicle, which would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Never dispose of engine coolant by
putting it in the trash, pouring it on
the ground, or into sewers, streams,
or bodies of water. Have the coolant
changed by an authorized service
center, familiar with legal
requirements regarding used coolant
disposal. This will help protect the
environment and your health.
Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a level surface
when checking the coolant level.
It is normal to see coolant moving in
the upper coolant hose return line
when the engine is running. It is also
normal to see bubbles entering the
surge tank through the small hose.
