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 you- vehicle,
the
balance between your front
and
rear brakes can change
--
for the worsle. The bralcing
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.
Vehiclle 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
sunning down.
~
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" i n the Index
for tips on working around
a
battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see "Theft-Deterrent
Feature" in the Index.
