Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Replace any components that have high effort
or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and
cruise control cables.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines ana
hoses for proper hook-up, 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.
You may need to
have your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.

Customer Satisfaction Procedure Oldsmobile retailers have the facilities, trained
technicians and up-to-date information to promptly address any concerns you may have. However,
if a
concern has not been resolved to your complete
satisfaction, take the following steps:
STEP ONE -- Discuss your concern with a member
of retail facility management. Normally, concerns can
be quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has
already been reviewed with the sales, service or parts
manager, contact the owner of the retail facility or the
general manager.
