Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided
into two parts. If one part is not working, the other
part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though, you need both parts working well.
This light should come on when you start the
engine. If it does not come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If this warning light stays on after you start the
engine, the parking brake may still be set or there
could be a brake problem. Refer to Parking
Brake on page 103 to see if it is set. If the parking
brake is not set, have your brake system
inspected right away.
If the light comes on while you are driving and you
have a CHECK BRAKE FLUID message showing
on the DIC, 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 313 and DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 212 for more information.
{CAUTION:
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 have pulled
off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
