Buick, Inspection Only (1973)

Pedal travel should be checked as a preliminary brake inspection. Check with pedal firmly depressed while brakes are cold. Pedal travel should not exceed 4 3/4" on non-power brakes, or 1 3/4" on power brakes. If equipped with power brakes, pump pedal at least three times (engine off), before measuring pedal travel. This exhausts all vacuum from power unit. Excessive pedal travel may indicate need for brake system service.
