1993 BUICK REGAL warning light

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.

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
GM dealer.
