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 Buick 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 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.
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.
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 vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see "Theft-Deterrent
Feature" in the Index.
