Brakes
Your Cadillac is equipped with a power assisted
brake system utilizing disc type front brakes and
drum type rear brakes. The system has indepen-
dent hydraulic circuits for front and rear brakes
and a warning light system to indicate a pressure
loss in either part of the system. Additional warn-
ing light information and procedures are found
under "Instrument Panel".
The warning light system is not a brake fluid
level indicator. Fluid level must be checked
visually at the recommended interval.
CAUTION: Driving through deep ""ter may
wet the brakes and adversely affect brake
performance
so
that the vehocle
not
~ow
down at the usual rate. Applying the brakes
lightly will indicate whether they have been
so
affected. To dry them qUIckly, lightly apply
the brakes while maintaining a safe forward
speed with an assured clear distance ahead
until brake performance returns to normal.
Automatic Brake Adjusters
• Cadillac brakes (except for the parking brake)
are self-adjusting, designed to eliminate
periodic brake adjustments.
• Rear drum brake adjustment is made auto·
mattcally as the brakes are applied while car
is moving backwards.
