That could lead to acrash. When the brake wearwarning sound is heard, have thevehicle serviced.CautionObject-ID=2826220 LMD=09-Apr-2012Continuing to drive with worn-outbrake pads could result in costlybrake repair.Some driving conditions or climatescan cause a brake squeal when thebrakes are first applied or lightlyapplied. This does not meansomething is wrong with the brakes.If equipped with high performancebrake linings, there could be anincreased build-up of brake dust aswell as minor noises as compared tostandard brake linings.Properly torqued wheel nuts arenecessary to help prevent brakepulsation. When tires are rotated,inspect brake pads for wear andevenly tighten wheel nuts in theproper sequence to torquespecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications 0379.Brake pads should be replaced ascomplete sets.

This could be a sign that brakeservice may be required.Replacing Brake System PartsAlways replace brake system partswith new, approved replacement parts.If this is not done, the brakes may notwork properly. The brakingperformance expected can change inmany other ways if the wrongreplacement brake parts are installedor parts are improperly installed.Cold Weather Brake Operation(CTS-V Model)High performance brake componentsmay bind and clunk when moving thevehicle. This may be noticeable afterparking when the brakes have beenwet, such as when driving in the rainor after a car wash. This is normal forbrakes with high friction pads anddoes not affect the operation of thebrakes. Apply the brakes several timesuntil the binding or clunking stops.Drive the vehicle and apply the brakesseveral times if it is washed beforelong-term storage.Brake FluidObject-ID=2826329 Owner=Dobson, BertLMD=27-Jul-2015 LMB=Dobson, Bert1987353The brake master cylinder reservoir isfilled with GM approved DOT 3 brakefluid as indicated on the reservoir cap.See Engine Compartment Overview0281 for the location of the reservoir.Checking Brake FluidWith the vehicle in P (Park) on a levelsurface, the brake fluid level should bebetween the minimum and maximummarks on the brake fluid reservoir.There are only two reasons why thebrake fluid level in the reservoir maygo down:.Normal brake lining wear. Whennew linings are installed, the fluidlevel goes back up..A fluid leak in the brake hydraulicsystem. Have the brake hydraulicsystem fixed. With a leak, thebrakes will not work well.Always clean the brake fluid reservoircap and the area around the capbefore removing it.Do not top off the brake fluid. Addingfluid does not correct a leak. If fluid isadded when the linings are worn,there will be too much fluid whennew brake linings are installed. Add orremove fluid, as necessary, only whenwork is done on the brake hydraulicsystem.{WarningObject-ID=2217380 LMD=30-Mar-2015If too much brake fluid is added, itcan spill on the engine and burn,if the engine is hot enough.

This greatly reducesthe chance of circuit overload and firecaused by electrical problems.Fuses and circuit breakers protectpower devices in the vehicle.Replace a bad fuse with a new one ofthe identical size and rating.If there is a problem on the road anda fuse needs to be replaced, thesame amperage fuse can be borrowed.Choose some feature of the vehiclethat is not needed to use and replaceit as soon as possible.Headlamp WiringAn electrical overload may cause thelamps to go on and off, or in somecases to remain off. Have theheadlamp wiring checked right away ifthe lamps go on and off or remain off.Windshield WipersIf the wiper motor overheats due toheavy snow or ice, the windshieldwipers will stop. Wiper function isavailable immediately after the wiperswitch is set to off, and back to on.To protect the wiper motor fromoverheating, the wipers may slowdown when the windshield is dry for along period of time. If a period of dryoperation, or little moisture, exceeds10 minutes, the wipers may switch tointermittent operation, and remainthere. When moisture is againdetected on the windshield, wiperoperation will return to the operatorselected speed.Although the circuit is protected fromelectrical overload, overload due toheavy snow or ice may cause wiperlinkage damage. Always clear ice andheavy snow from the windshieldbefore using the windshield wipers.If the overload is caused by anelectrical problem and not snow orice, be sure to get it fixed.Fuses and Circuit BreakersObject-ID=2172054 Owner=Byrne, MatthewLMD=27-Aug-2015 LMB=Byrne, MatthewThe wiring circuits in the vehicle areprotected from short circuits by acombination of fuses and circuitbreakers. This greatly reduces thechance of damage caused by electricalproblems.To check a fuse, look at thesilver-colored band inside the fuse.If the band is broken or melted,replace the fuse. Be sure to replace abad fuse with a new one of theidentical size and rating.Fuses of the same amperage can betemporarily borrowed from anotherfuse location, if a fuse goes out.Replace the fuse as soon as possible.

Thisapplies only to vehicles sold in theUnited States. The grades aremolded on the sidewalls of mostpassenger car tires. The UniformTire Quality Grading (UTQG)system does not apply to deeptread, winter tires, compact sparetires, tires with nominal rimdiameters of 10 to 12 inches(25 to 30 cm), or to somelimited-production tires.While the tires available onGeneral Motors passenger carsand light trucks may vary withrespect to these grades, they mustalso conform to federal safetyrequirements and additionalGeneral Motors Tire PerformanceCriteria (TPC) standards.Quality grades can be found whereapplicable on the tire sidewallbetween tread shoulder andmaximum section width. Forexample:Treadwear 200 Traction AATemperature AAll Passenger Car Tires MustConform to Federal SafetyRequirements In Addition ToThese Grades.TreadwearThe treadwear grade is acomparative rating based on thewear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on aspecified government test course.For example, a tire graded150 would wear one and one-half(1½) times as well on thegovernment course as a tiregraded 100. The relativeperformance of tires dependsupon the actual conditions oftheir use, however, and maydepart significantly from the normdue to variations in driving habits,service practices and differencesin road characteristics andclimate.TractionThe traction grades, from highestto lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.Those grades represent the tire'sability to stop on wet pavement asmeasured under controlledconditions on specifiedgovernment test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tiremarked C may have poor tractionperformance. Warning: Thetraction grade assigned to this tireis based on straight-ahead brakingtraction tests, and does notinclude acceleration, cornering,hydroplaning, or peak tractioncharacteristics.TemperatureThe temperature grades are A (thehighest), B, and C, representingthe tire's resistance to thegeneration of heat and its abilityto dissipate heat when testedunder controlled conditions on aspecified indoor laboratory testwheel. Sustained high temperature

Thegrade C corresponds to a level ofperformance which all passengercar tires must meet under theFederal Motor Safety StandardNo. 109. Grades B and A representhigher levels of performance onthe laboratory test wheel than theminimum required by law.Warning: The temperature gradefor this tire is established for a tirethat is properly inflated and notoverloaded. Excessive speed,underinflation, or excessiveloading, either separately or incombination, can cause heatbuildup and possible tire failure.Wheel Alignment and TireBalanceObject-ID=2147500 Owner=Rosekrans, DeeLMD=14-Jan-2015 LMB=Rocha, WendyThe tires and wheels were aligned andbalanced at the factory to provide thelongest tire life and best overallperformance.
