To
Check
Brake
Fluid:
You
can check the brake
fluid
without
taking off the cap. Just look at the brake
fluid reservoir. The fluid level should be
above the plastic seam
in
the reservoir.
If
it
isn’t, have your brake system
checked to see
if
there is a leak.
After work
is done on the brake hydraulic
system, make sure the level
is
above the
plastic seam, near
the
base of the
filler
neck.
What
to
Add:
When
you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid
-
such as
Delco-
Supreme
1
l @
(GM
Part
No.
1052535).
Use
new brake fluid from a sealed
container only,
and always clean the brakt
fluid reservoir cap before removing it.
NOTICE:
0
Don’t let someone put
in
the
wrong
kind
of
fluid. For example,
just
a few drops
of
mineral-based
oil,
such as
engine
oil,
in
your
brake system can damage brake
system parts
so
badly
that they’ll
have
to
be replaced.
0
Brake
fluid
can damage paint,
so
be careful not to spill brake fluid
on your vehicle.
If
you do, wash
it
off immediately. See ”Appearance
Care”
in
the Index.
Brake
Wear
Unless you
have the four-wheel disc
brake option, your Chevrolet 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).
A
CAUTION:
The
brake
wear
warning
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
serviced.
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.
