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.
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 male a moderate brake
stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear. If
you rarely make a mo.derate 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.
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 Oldsmobile does when it
is new. When you replace parts of your
braking 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.
