Brake System Warning Light
BRAKE
United States
Canada
Your Geo’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 need
both
parts
working well.
Your vehicle also has rear-wheel anti-lock brakes. If the
warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem
with either your regular or rear-wheel anti-lock brakes,
or both. Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly as you start the
vehicle.
If
it doesn’t come
on
then, have 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.)
The brake system warning light will also come on when
you set your parking brake, and it 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.
