Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a 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 Saturn brake parts. When you
replace parts of your braking system — for
example, when your brake linings wear down
and you need new ones put in — be sure you
get new approved Saturn replacement parts.
If you do not, 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 have come to expect can
change in many other ways if someone puts in
the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Your vehicle has a maintenance free battery.
When it is time for a new battery, get one that has
the replacement number shown on the original
battery’s label. We recommend an ACDelco
®
replacement battery. See Engine Compartment
Overview on page 242 for battery location.
Warning: Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
