Brake
Pedal
Travel
See
your
dealer
if
the
brake
pedaldoes
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
moderately,
with
or
without
the
vehicle
moving,
your
brakes
adjust
for
wear.
[f
your
brake
pedal

Adjust
them by backing

firmly
applying
the
brakes a few
cimes.
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.
Vehicles
we
design
and
test have
top-quality GM
brake parts in them, as
your Pontiac does when it is
new. 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
genuine
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 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
-
catalog number shown on the original
battery’s label.
On
vehicles
equipped with the optional
power sliding door, a low voltage battery
or replacing the battery may cause the
system to become inoperative. Refer to
“Power Sliding Door”
in the Index for
more information.
