Anti-Lock
Brake System
Warning
Light
(Option)
ABS
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on
when
you
start your
engine and it will stay
on for three seconds.
That’s normal.
If
the light flashes when you’re driving, you don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there could be a problem with your
regular brakes. 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.
Have the vehicle towed for service. (See
“Towing
Your
Vehicle” in the Index.)
Your regular brake system may not be working
properly if the anti-lock brake system warning light
is flashing. Driving with the anti-lock brake system
warning light flashing
can
lead to
an
accident. After
you’ve pulled
off
the road and stopped caremy,
have the vehicle towed for service.
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, your Geo needs service. If the
light
is
on but not flashing and the regular brake system
warning light isn’t on,
you
still have brakes, but
you
don’t have anti-lock brakes.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on
briefly when you turn the ignitiorrkey
to
ON-
If
the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so
it will-be
ready to warn you
if
there
is
a problem.
