work at all. So, it isn’t a good idea to “top
off’ your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid.
won’t correct a leak. If you add fluid
when your linings are worn, then you’ll
have too much fluid when you get new
brake linings.
You should add (or remove)
brake fluid, as necessary, only when work
is done on the brake hydraulic system.
When your brake fluid falls to a low level,
your brake warning light will come on. A
chime will sound
if you try to drive with
this warning light on. See “Brake System
Warning Light” in the Index.

What to Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid
-- such as Delco
Supreme 11
@ (GM Part No. 1052535).
Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only, and always clean the brake
fluid reservoir cap before removing
it.
NOTICE:
e Don’t let someone put in the
wrong kind of fluid. 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.
Brake fluid can damage
paint,
so 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 Pontiac 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).

through the windshield from outside your
vehicle. The VIN also appears on the
Vehicle Certification and Service Parts
labels and the certificates of title and
registration.
Engine Identification
The eighth character in your VIN is the
engine code. This code will help
you
identify your engine, specifications, and
replacement parts.
Service Parts

0 the model designation,
0 paint information, and
0 a list of all production options and
special equipment.
Be sure that this label

Add-on Electrical
Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to
your Pontiac unless
you check with

add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from
working as they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system.
Before attempting to add anything

“Section D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” lists some
products GM recommends to help keep your vehicle properly
maintained. These products, or their equivalents, should be
used whether you do the work yourself or have
it done.
“Section
E: Maintenance Record” provides a place for you to
record the maintenance performed on your vehicle. Whenever
any maintenance is performed, be sure to write it down in this
section. This
will help you determine when your next
maintenance should be done. In addition, it is a good idea to
keep your maintenance receipts. They may be needed to
qualify your vehicle for warranty repairs.
Section A: Scheduled Maintenance
Using Your Maintenance Schedule
Services
This section tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and
when you should schedule them. Your Pontiac
dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with
it. If you go to your dealer for your service needs, you’ll know
that GM-trained and supported service people
will perform the
work using genuine
GM parts.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
@ carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits.
You
will find these limits on your vehicle’s Tire-Loading
Information label. See “Loading Your Vehicle” in the
Index.
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving
limits.
use the recommended unleaded fuel. See “Fuel” in the
Index.
Selecting the Right Schedule
First you’ll need to decide which of the two schedules is right
for your vehicle. Here’s how to decide which schedule to
follow:
Schedule I
Is any one of these true for your vehicle?
Most trips are less than 4 miles (6 km).
Most trips are less than 10 miles (16 km) when outside
temperatures are below freezing.
The engine is at low speed most of the time (as in
door-to-door delivery, or
in stop-and-go traffic).
”.
0 You operate your vehicle in dusty areas.
You tow a trailer. (With some models, you should never
,.’
tow a trailer. See “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.)
If any one (or more) of these is true for your driving, follow
Schedule I.
Schedule 11
Follow Schedule I1 only if none of the above conditions is true.
ProCarManuals.com

Maintenance Schedule
Scheduled Maintenance Services Schedule I

Maintenance Schedule
Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance
Services
Following are explanations of the services listed in Schedule I
and Schedule
11.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in Section D.
Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts
should be replaced and all necessary repairs done before you or
anyone else drives the vehicle.
1. Engine Oil and Filter Change* -- Always use SH or SG
Energy Conserving I1 oils
of proper viscosity. The “SH” or
“SG” designation may be shown alone or in combination
with others, such as “SH/CD,” or “SH, SG, CD,” “SG/CD,”
etc. To determine the preferred viscosity for your vehicle’s
engine (e.g., SAE 5W-30 or SAE
10W-30), see “Engine
Oil”
in the Index.
2. Chassis Lubrication -- Lubricate suspension and steering
linkage. Lubricate the transaxle shift linkage, and parking
brake cable guides, underbody contact points and linkage.
3. Tire and Wheel Rotation and Inspection -- For proper
wear and maximum tire
life, rotate your tires following the
instructions in this manual. See “Tires, Inspection &
Rotation” in the Index. Check the tires for uneven wear or
damage. If
you see irregular or premature wear, check the
wheel alignment. Check for damaged wheels also.
4. Engine Accessory Drive Belt(s) Inspection* -- Inspect
the belt(s) for cracks, fraying, wear and proper tension.
Replace as needed. (Belts can have many small cracks
in
individual ribs without affecting performance.)
5. Cooling System Service* -- Drain, flush and refill the
system with new or approved recycled coolant conforming
to GM Specification 1825M. Keep coolant at the proper
mixture as specified. See “Coolant”
in the Index. This
provides proper freeze and boil protection, corrosion inhibitor level and maintains proper engine operating
temperature.
Inspect hoses and replace
if they are cracked, swollen or
deteriorated. Tighten screw-type hose clamps. Clean the
outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser. Wash
the pressure cap and neck.
To help ensure proper operation, we recommend a pressure
test of both the cooling system and the pressure cap.
