2003 BUICK RANDEZVOUS cruise control

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.
All-Wheel Drive Inspection
Inspect the transfer case (power transfer unit) and
carrier assembly-differential (rear drive module) every
12 months or at engine oil change intervals, check rear
differential and transfer case and add lubricant when
necessary. Auid loss could indicate a problem; check
and have it repaired, if needed. Check vent hoses at
transfer case and differential for kinks and proper
installation.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chang, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. For vehicles with rear drum
brakes, also inspect drum brake linings for wear and
cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums,
wheel cylinders, 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.
