Chevrolet Silverado: Brakes / Electric Brake Boost
Vehicles equipped with electric brake boost have hydraulic brake circuits that
are electronically controlled when the brake pedal is applied during normal operation.
The system performs routine tests and turns off within a few minutes after the vehicle
is shutdown. Noise may be heard during this time. If the brake pedal is pressed
during the tests or when the electric brake boost system is off, a noticeable change
in pedal force and travel may be felt. This is normal.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps prevent a braking skid and maintain steering
while braking hard.
ABS performs a system check when the vehicle is first driven...
Other information:
If equipped, Active Fuel Management allows the gasoline engine to operate on
either all of its cylinders, or a reduced number of cylinders, depending on the
driving conditions. When less power is required, such as cruising at a constant
vehicle speed, the system will enable reduced cylinder operation, allowing the vehicle
to achieve better fuel economy...
Tires should be rotated every 12 000 km (7,500 mi). See Maintenance Schedule.
Tires are rotated to achieve a more uniform wear for all tires. The first rotation
is the most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate the tires as soon as possible, check
for proper tire inflation pressure, and check for damaged tires or wheels...
