Using Solvent-Type Cleaner on
Fabric
First, see if you have to use solvent-type cleaner at all.
Some spots and stains will clean off better with just
water and mild soap.
If you need to use it, then:
0 Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with
a clean, dull knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner,
light pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside
of
the stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep
changing
to a clean section of the cloth.

Special Cleaning Problems
Greasy or Oily Stains: Like grease, oil, butter,
margarine, shoe polish, coffee with cream, chewing
gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax crayon, tar
and asphalt.
Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Then follow the solvent-type instructions above.
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if
left on a vehicle seat fabric. They should be removed
as soon as possible. Be careful, because the cleaner
will dissolve them and may cause them to bleed.
Non-Greasy Stains: Like catsup, coffee (black), egg,
fruit, fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and
blood.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short
circuits by a combination
of fuses, circuit breakers, and
fusible themdi links in the wiring itself.
This greatly
reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical problems.
This fuse panel is inside the
glove box. Pull the cover
down for access. Some
spare fuses and
a fuse
puller are included.
Be sure
to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem
on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can “borrow”
one of the correct value. Just pick some feature of your car
that you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is of the value you need.
Replace
it as soon as you can.

Headlights
The
headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If
this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When
the current
load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit
until the problem is fixed or goes
away.

INSPECTION
OR SERVICE
Brake System
Inspection
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the complete system. Inspect
brake lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads
for wear and rotors for surface
condition. Also inspect other brake
parts, including calipers, parking
brake, etc. Check parking brake
adjustment. You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often
if
your driving habits or conditions
result
in frequent braking.
NOTE:
A low brake fluid level can
indicate worn disc brake pads which
may need to be serviced. Also, if the
brake system warning light stays on
or comes on, something may be
wrong with the brake system. See
“Brake System Warning Light”
in
the Index. If your vehicle is equipped
with anti-lock brakes and the
anti-lock brake system warning light
stays on, comes on or flashes,
something may be wrong with the
anti-lock brake system. See
“Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light”
in the Index.

Lubricants
NOTE: Fluids and lubricants identified below by name,
part number or specification may be obtained from your

Buick regularly sends its dealers useful service bulletins
about Buick products. Buick monitors product
performance in the field. We then prepare bulletins for
servicing our products better. Now, you can get
these
bulletins too. Bulletins cover various subjects.
Some pertain to the
proper
use and care of your vehicle. Some describe
costly repairs. Others describe inexpensive repairs
which, if done on time with the latest parts, may avoid
future costly repairs. Some bulletins tell a technician
how
to repair a new or unexpected condition. Others
describe a quicker way to fix your vehicle. They can
help a technician service your vehicle better.
Most bulletins apply
to conditions affecting a small
number of cars or trucks. Your Buick dealer or a
qualified technician may have to determine if a specific
bulletin applies to your vehicle.
You can subscribe to all Buick bulletins. This way
you’ll
get them as they come out. You can wait a while and get
an index to the bulletins. You can also get individual
bulletins. However,
you’ll need the index to identify
them.
