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

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 Brake System Warning
Light
Your vehicle may have this
light.
If
it
does, the
anti-lock brake system
warning light should 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 and you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN.
If
the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so
it will be
ready to warn you
if
there is
a
problem.
