90 Driving and Operating
Caution
Do not put your foot on brake pedal
during driving. Otherwise the wear
on the brake components will be
accelerated.
Also the brakes will overheat so that
the braking distance is increased and
safety is reduced.
The brake may temporarily lose
function after the car has driven
through water or has been washed, or
when the brake is overused while the
car is driving down a long steep
slope. This may be due to the brakes
are wet or overheated.
Caution
BRAKES
The braking system is designed to
brake the vehicle under any conditions.
There are disc brakes for the front
wheels and drum brakes for rear
wheels. A dual-circuit brake system is
used.
If one brake circuit is ineffective, the
other circuit can still be used to stop the
vehicle but the braking distance will
increase and depressing the brake pedal
will also require a greater force.
Caution
If one of the brake circuit fails,
depressing the brake pedal will be
difficult and the braking distance
will also increase. Contact your
CHEVROLET retailer to check and
repair the braking system.
An increase in brake pedal travel
indicates that the brakes may need
repair. Consult your CHEVROLET
retailer.
Caution
It is inadvisable to drive with hand
resting on the shift lever.
Caution
Shifting to R (Reverse) while the
vehicle is moving forward could
damage the transmission. The repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Shift to R (Reverse) only
after the vehicle is stopped.
