NOTICE:
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts. 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. Don't let someone put in the
wrong kind of fluid.
If you.spil1 brake fluid on your vehicle's
painted surfaces, the paint finish can be
damaged. Be careful not to spill brake fluid
on your vehicle. If you do, wash it off
immediately. See "Appearance Care" in
the Index.
Brake Wear
Your
Pontiac
has
four-wheel disc
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).
The brake wear warning sound
means
that soon
your brakes won't work well. That could lead to
an accident. When you hear the brake wear
warning sound, have your vehicle serviced.
NOTICE:
Continuing
to
drive
with
worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
