Don't let someone put in the wrong kind of
fluid.
For
example, just a few drops of
mineral-based oil, such
as
engine oil, in
your brake system can damage brake
system parts so badly that they'll have to be
replaced.
Brake fluid can damage paint, so be careful
not to spill brake fluid on your vehicle. If
you do, wash it off immediately. See
"Appearance Care" in the Index.
Your Buick has front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make
a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are
worn and new pads
are
needed. The sound may come
and go or be heard all the time your vehicle is moving
(except when you are pushing on the brake pedal
firmly).
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
