Brake
System
Warning
Light
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will 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.
A
chime
may also sound when the light comes on.
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.

This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key
to
RUN. 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 on page
4-45.
