Brake Adjustment
Battery
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc
brakes adjust for wear. If you rarely make a moderate or
heavier stop, then your brakes might not adjust correctly.
If
you drive in that way, then
--
very carefully
--
make
a few moderate brake stops about
every
1,000
miles
(1
600
km),
so
your brakes will adjust properly.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modem 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. Vehicles we design
and test have top-q&ty GM brake parts in them, as your
Geo 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 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.
Every new Geo has
a
Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one
of
these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If
you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more,
take
off
the black, negative
(-)
cable
from
the battery.
This
will help keep your battery from running down.
I
A
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.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature” in the Index.
