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.
Parking Brake Indicator Light
This light comes on when
the parking brake is set, and
it will stay on if the parking
brake does not fully release.
If you try to drive
off
with
the parking brake set,
this
light will remain on.
This light should also come on briefly as
you
start the
vehicle. If it doesn’t, have the light fixed
so
it will be
ready to remind
you
if the parking brake has not fully
released. For more information on how to release the
parking brake, see “Parking Brake” earlier in
this
section.
