Replacing Brake System Parts
The bralung 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. Vehicles we design and
test have top-quality GM brake parts in
them, as your Pontiac does when it is
new. When you replace parts of your
braking system
-
for example, when
your bralte linings wear down and you
have to have new ones put in
-
be sure
you get new genuine 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 bralte
parts.

Batterj
Every new Pontiac has a Delcd
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 catalog number shown on the
original battery's label.
Vehicle Storage
If you're not going to drive your vehicle
for 25 days or more, take off the black,
negative
(-)
cable from the battery. This
will help keep your battery from
running down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to
prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
