Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system
on a
modem vehicle is complex.
Its many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Your vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality
GM
brake parts. When you replace parts
of your braking
system
--
for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have to have new ones put in
--
be sure
you get new approved GM replacement parts.
If you
don't, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong
for your vehicle, the balance between your front and
rear brakes can change
--
for the worse. The braking
performance you've come to expect can change in many
other ways
if someone
puts
in
the
wrong replacement
brake parts.
Battery
Every new Pontiac has an ACDelco Freedom@ battery.
You never have to add water to
one of these. When it's
time for a new battery, we recommend an ACDelco
Freedom battery. Get one that has the replacement
number shown on the original battery's label.
Vehicle Storage
If
you're not going
to drive your vehicle for 25
days
or more, remove the black, negative
(-)
cable
from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.

A
CAUTION:
rn
-
Batteries have acid that can burn you
and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren't careful. See "Jump Starting" in the Index
for tips on working around
a
battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicl
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see "Theft-Deterrent
Feature" in the Index.
