braking hard.
As you brake, your
computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
inti-lock doesn’t change the
4 L time you need to get yoyr
foot up to the brake pedal. If you
get too close to the vehicle in front
of you, you won’t have time to
apply your brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to
stop, even though you have
anti-lock brakes.
To Use Anti-Lock: Don’t pump the
brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for you. You also
may hear a clicking noise as you
accelerate after a hard stop.
Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Your Chevrolet has four-wheel disc
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).
A The brake wear warning
J sound means that sooner or
later your brakes won’t work well.
That could lead to an accident.
When you hear the brake wear
warning sound, have your vehicle
sewiced.

seals if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust system.

cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rot\
ors for surface condition. Inspect
other brake parts, including calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adjustment. You
may need to have your brakes inspected more often
if your driving habits or conditions result in
frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which \
may need to be
serviced.
Also, if the brake system warning light stays on or comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system.
See the Ida under Brake System Warning Light. If your vehicle is
equipped with anti-lock brakes and the anti-lock brake system w\
arning light

or flashes, something may be wrong with the anti-lock brake system. See the
