The air bag affects how your vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of
the air bag system
in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want the
system to inflate
while someone is working on your vehicle. Your GM
dealer and the 1995 GM Service Manual have information about servicing
your vehicle and the air bag system.
To purchase a service manual, see
“Service Publications”
in the Index. The air bag system does not need
regular maintenance.
Adding Equipment to Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle
Q : If I add a push bumper or a bicycle rack to the front of my vehicle,
A: As long as the push bumper or bicycle rack is attached to your vehicle
will it keep the air bag from working properly?
so that the vehicle’s basic structure isn’t changed, it’s not likely to keep
the air bags from working properly
in a crash.
0: Is there anything I might add to the front of the vehicle that could
keep
the air bag from working properly?
A: Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle’s frame, bumper
system, front end sheet metal or height,
they may keep the air bag
system from working properly. Also, the air bag system may not work
properly if
you relocate any of the air bag sensors. If you have any
question about this, you should contact Customer Assistance before
you modify your vehicle. (The phone numbers and addresses for
Customer Assistance are
in Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure in this manual. See “Customer Satisfaction Procedure” in
the Index

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).
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.
Your rear drum brakes don’t have wear indicators, but if you
i?v& hear a
rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected. Also, the
rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the tires are
removed for rotation or changing. When you have the front brakes replaced,
have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
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 brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear.
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.
