Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a vehicle is complex. Its many
parts have to be of top quality and work well together if
the vehicle is to have really good braking. Your vehicle
was designed and tested with top
-
quality GM brake
parts. 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 approved GM replacement parts. If you
don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake 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.
Battery
Your new vehicle comes with an ACDelco Freedom
R
battery. When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend
an ACDelco Freedom battery. Get one that has the
replacement number shown on the original
battery’s label.
CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
After a power loss, such as disconnecting the battery or
removing the MaxiFuses
R
in the power distribution fuse
block, the following steps must be performed to
calibrate the Electronic Throttle Control. If this is not
done, the engine will not run properly.
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN . Do not start
the engine.
2. Leave the ignition in RUN for at least three minutes
so that the electronic throttle control will cycle and
re
-
learn its home position.
3. Turn the ignition to OFF.
4. Start and run the engine for at least 30 seconds.

Feature” in the Index.
