Used Replacement Wheels Tire Chains
Using the wrong replacement I
1‘ I wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the
braking md handling of you
vehicle, make your tires lose air and
make you lose control. You could
have a collision in which yau or
others could be injured. Always use
the correct wheel, wheel bolts, and
wheel nuts for replacement.
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing
life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, headlight
aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearanr
and tire or tire chain clearancc
he body and chassis.
Putting a used wheel on your
1 b vehicle is dangerous, You
can’t how how it’s beerl used or
how rnany miles 8s been driven. It
could fail suddenly and muse an
accident. If you have to replace a
wheel use a new GM original
equipment wheel. I
If your Pontiac has P215/60R16,
P225/60R16 or P245/50ZR16 size
tires, don’t use tire chains; they
can damage your vehicle.
If you have other tires,
use
chains only when you must. I
only SAE Class “S” type chains
that are the proper size for your
tires. Install them on the front til
and tighten them as tightly as
possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and
fnlh
the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. If you can hear
t
chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them.
If the
contact continues, slow
down until
it stops. Driving too fast with
chains on will damage your
vehicle.

Service & Appearance Care
mu.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of
your Pontiac may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish.
You can get
GM approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See the
Index under Appearance Care. )
Your Pontiac has a ‘‘basecoat/
clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat
gives more depth and gloss
to the
colored basecoat.
Machine compounding or
aggressive polishing
on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint finish may
dull the finish
or leave swirl marks. I
E66
Aluminum Wheels (IF so EQUIPPED)
Your aluminum wheels have a
protective coating similar to the painted
surface of your Pontiac. Don’t use
strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
or other abrasive cleaners on them
because you could damage this coating.
After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be
applied.
White Sidewall Tires
Your Pontiac dealer has a GM White
Sidewall Tire Cleaner.
You can use a
stiff brush with it.
Weatherstrips
These are places where glass or metal
meets rubber. Silicone grease there will
male them last longer, seal better, and
not squeak. Apply silicone grease with a
clean cloth at least every six months.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts,
signs of wear,
or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then in\
spect the drive axle boot seals for
damage, tears or leakage. Replace seals if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust system. Look for broken,
damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose connections, or
other conditions which could cause a heat build-up
in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes
into the vehicle. See the
Index under Engine Exhaust.
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed.
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hooku\
p, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. 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 the
Idex under Brake System Warning Light. 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 the
Index under Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light.
