Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle’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.
If the warning light comes on, there could be
a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.

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.)
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.
When the ignition is
on,
the brake system warning light
will
also come on when you set your parking brake. The
light 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.
