Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern 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 Buick has a Delco Freedom' battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it's time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery's label.
The battery is located under the rear seat cushion.
To access the battery, see "Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion" in the Index.
You
don't need to access the
battery to jump start your vehicle. See "Jump Starting"
in the Index.
A
CAUTION:
A battery that isnx properly vented can let
sulfuric acid fumes into the area under the rear
seat cushion. These fumes can damage your rear
seat safety belt systems. You may not be able to
see this damage, and the safety belts might not
provide the protection needed in a crash. I f a
replacement battery is ever needed, it must be
vented in the same manner as the original
battery. Always make sure that the vent hose
is properly reattached before reinstalling the
seat cushion.
