NOTICE: Replacing Brake System Parts I Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repair. I Some driving conditions or climates may cause abrake squeal whenthe brakes are firstapplied 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 yourdealer if the brake pedaldoes not return to normal height, or if there is arapid increase inpedal travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble. The braking system on a modemvehicle is complex. Its many parts have tobe of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is tohave really good braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality GM brake parts in them, as your Corvette 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 are wrong for your that vehicle, thebalance between your front and rear brakes can change -- for the worse. The braking performance you've come toexpect can change in many other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts. Battery Every new Corvette has a Delco Freedom@battery. You never have to add water to one of these. When it's time for anew battery, werecommend a Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown on the original battery's label. For battery replacement, see your dealer or the Corvette Service Manual.To purchase a servicemanual, see "Service Publications" in the Index. Brake Adjustment As you make brakestops, your disc brakes automatically adjust for wear. 6-35
