WETen your
brake
fluid
falls
to a.low
level,
your
brake
warning
light,
SERVICE
ABS
light
and
SERVICE
ASR
light
will
come
on.
The-
anti-lock
brake
and
.acceleration
slip
regulation
systems are disabled
when your brake
flu.id
falls
to
it
low
level.
See
thedndex
under
Brake
System
Warning
Light;
To
Add
Brake
Fluid:
Lift
the cap
and
pour
in
fluid
to
the
MAX
mark
on
the master
cylinder.
Do
not oveffiI1.
&%at
to
Add:
When
you do need brake fluid,
use-
)nly
DOT-3
brake
fluid-such
as
lelcrr
Supreme
1P
(GM
Part
No.
.052535).
Use
new brake
fluid
from
a
'eded. container only.
NOTlCE
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 haye
really
good
braking.
Vehicles
we
design
and
test have top-quality
GM
brake-parts in
the&, as
your
Corvette
does
when
it is
new.
When
you
replace
parts
of
your
braking 'system-for
example,
when
your
brakelinings
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
b.r&e
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.
