Brake Pedal
Travel
See your deder if the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or
if
there is a rapid increase in pedal
travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you apply the brakes, with or without the
vehicle moving,
your
brakes adjust for wear.
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 liningswear
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 Buick 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
fkom
running down.
m
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.
