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
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).
The brake wear warning sound means that
sooner or later your brakes won’t work well.
That could lead to an accident. When you hear
the brake wear warning sound, have your
vehicle serviced.
