NOTICE:
Using the wrong fluid can badly damage
brake system parts. For example, just a few
drops
of
mineral-based oil, such as engine
oil, in your brake system can damage brake
system parts
so
badly that they’ll have
to
be
replaced.
Don’t
let someone put
in
the
wrong
kind
of
fluid.

If
you spill brake fluid
on
your vehicle’s
painted surfaces, the paint finish can
be
damaged. Be careful not
to
spill brake
fluid
on
your vehicle.
If
you do, wash it
off immediately. See “Appearance Care’’
in the Index.
Brake
Wear
Unless
you
have the four-wheel disc brake option, your
Pontiac has front disc brakes and rear
drum
brakes.
Disc
brake
pads
have built-in
wear
indicators that
make a high-pitched warning sound
when
the brake
pads are worn and new pads are needed.
The
sound
may come
and
go
or
be
heard
all
the
time
your vehicle
is moving (except when you are pushing
on
the brake
pedal
firmly).
I
The brake wear warning sound means that soon
your brakes won’t work well. That could lead to
an accident. When
you
hear
the
brake wear
warning sound, have
your
vehicle serviced.
