I
Brake Master Cylinder (CONI:)
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.
, If you have too much brake
hid,
it can spill on the
engine. The fluid will burn if the
engine is hot enough.
You or
others could be burned, and your
engine could be damaged. Add
brake fluid only when work is
done on the brake hydraulic
system.
244
When your brake fluid falls to a low
level, your brake warning light will
come on. A continuous chime will
sound if
you try to drive with this
warning light on. See the
Index under
Brake System Warning Light.
What to Add:
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3 brake fluid-such as Delco
Supreme
ll@ (GM Part No. 1052535).
Use new brake fluid from a sealed
container only.
DOT-5 silicone brake fluid can
damage your vehicle. Don’t use
it.
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.

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:
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.
When you clean a stain from fabric,
immediately dry the area with an air
hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to help
prevent a cleaning ring. (See the
previous
NOTICE.)
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
Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and
instructions
above.
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.
0 Carefully scrape off excess stain, then
sponge the soiled area with cool water.
If a stain remains, follow the foam-
type instructions above.
If an odor lingers after cleaning vomit
or urine, treat
the area with a water/
baking soda solution:
1 teaspoon
(5 ml) of baking soda to 1 cup
(250 ml) of lukewarm water.
Finally, if needed, clean lightly with
solvent-type cleaner.
Combination Stains:
Like candy, ice cream, mayonnaise,
chili sauce and unknown stains.
Carefully scrape off excess stain, then
clean with cool water and allow to
dry.
If a stain remains, clean it with
solvent-type cleaner.

Sheet Metal Damage
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
sheet metal repair or replacement, make
sure the body repair shop applies anti-
corrosion material to the parts repaired
or replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
Foreign Material
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap,
bird droppings, chemicals from
industrial chimneys, and other foreign
matter can damage your vehicle’s finish
if they remain
on painted surfaces. Use
cleaners that are marked safe for painted
surfaces for these stains.
Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal will
corrode quickly and may develop into a
major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be
repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other
service outlets. Larger areas
of finish
damage can be corrected in
your
dealer’s body and paint shop.
