Brake
System Warning
Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other
part
can
still work and stop you. For good braking though, you
ueed both parts working well.
If the warning light comes
on,
there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.

This light should come
on
briefly when you turn the
’
ignition key to
RUN.
If it
doesn’t come
on
then, have
1
it fixed
so
it
will
be ready to
warn
you
if there’s a
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”
in the Index.)

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.

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.
