When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake.
The light will stay on
if
your parking brake doesn’t
release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is
fully released, it means you have a brake problem.
If
the light comes on while you are driving, pull
off
the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the
floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on,
have the vehicle towed for service. See Towing
Your
Vehicle on page

Your brake system may not be working
properly if the brake system warning light
is
on. Driving with the brake system warning light
on can lead to an accident.
If
the light
is
still
on
after you’ve pulled
off
the road and stopped
carefully, have the vehicle towed for service.

ANTI-
LOCK
United States Canada
If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, this warning light
will come on for a few seconds when you turn the
ignition key
to
RUN.
If the anti-lock brake system
warning light stays on longer than normal after you’ve
started your engine, turn the ignition
off.
Or,
if
the
light comes on and stays on when you’re driving, stop
as soon as possible and turn the ignition
off.
Then
start the engine again to reset the system.
If
the light
still stays
on,
or comes on again while you’re driving, the
anti-lock brake system needs service. If the light is on
and the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you
still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
The anti-lock brake system warning light will come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN.
This is
normal.
If
the light doesn’t come on then, have
it
fixed
so
it will be ready to warn you
if
there is a problem.
