Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
(If
Equipped)
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.)
A
CAUTION:
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 carefully, 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 ignition key 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.
