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.
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 brake 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 brake narts.
Battery
Every new Pontiac 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 @bel,

CAUTION:
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.

for longer storage periods.
