Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system
on
a
modem 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 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.
Vehicle 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
running down.

A
CAUTION:
rn
-
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.
