The brake system
indicator normally
comesonwhenyou
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position, and as a reminder to
check the parking brake. It will stay
on if you do not fully release the
parking brake.
If the brake system indicator comes
on while driving, the brake fluid level
is probably low. Press lightly on the
brake pedal to see if it feels normal.
If it does, check the brake fluid level

station (see page ).
Slow down by shifting to a lower
gear, and pull to the side of the road
when it is safe. Because of the long
distance needed to stop, it is
hazardous to drive the vehicle. You
should have it towed and repaired as
soon as possible (see
on page ).
If the fluid level is low, take your
vehicle t o a dealer, and have the
brake system inspect ed for leaks or
worn brake pads.
However, if the brake pedal does not
feel normal, you should take
immediate action. A problem in one
part of the system’s dual circuit
design will still give you braking at
tw o wheels. You will feel t he brake
pedal go down much farther before
the vehicle begins to slow down, and
you will have to press harder on the
pedal.
If the ABS indicator and the VSA
indicator come on with the brake
system indicator, have the vehicle
inspect ed by your dealer
immediately.
If you must drive the vehicle a short
distance in this condition, drive
slowly and carefully.
You will also see a ‘‘BRAKE FLUID
LOW’’ message on the multi-
information display.
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK BRAKE
SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-
