1995 Cadillac Eldorado Owner's Manual - Page 291

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 completeaxle 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 bc a sign of brake trouble. Brake Adjustment Every time you apply the brakes,with or without the vehicle moving, your brakes adjust for wear. Replacing Brake System Parts The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to be of top quality and work wcll 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 Cadillac doeswhen 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. Forexample, if someone putsin brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change -- for theworse. The braking performance you've come to expect can change in many other ways if someone putsin the wrong replacement brake parts. 6-32
