Brake Wear

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.
Your Buick 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).
