Your brake system may not be working properly

light will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully.
If it stays

Parking Brake Indicator Light

BRAKE
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 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.
