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 Geo 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.
A
CAUTION:
Catteries 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.
