tion, depress the brake pedal with full force to slow
down the vehicle, then pull off the road as soon as it
is safe to do so, and perform the following checks:
1. Let the engine run at intermediate RPM until the
warning lamp goes out.
2. Check piping and its connections for vacuum
leaks.
3. If the lamp does not go out or comes on again
soon after it has gone out, the vacuum system is
defective and must be repaired. Call an autho-
rized dealer.
2 Brake warning lamp
This lamp lights up when the parking brake lever is
pulled, when the brake fluid level drops below the
safe limit, or when the power steering fluid pressure
is too low on FE85. When the power steering fluid
pressure is too low on FE85, illumination of the
lamp is accompanied by sounding of a buzzer. The
buzzer stops when the parking brake is applied.
Should the lamp remain illuminated even after the
parking brake lever has been released or light up
during driving, pull off the road as soon as it is safe
to do so, and perform the checks below.
With the starter switch in the “ON” position and the
engine not running, the warning lamp will stay on
even if the parking brake lever is released. The
lamp will go out if the engine is started.
1. Check the brake fluid level.
Replenish the reservoir if the level is too low.
P. 1 2 - 3 6
2. Pump the brake pedal several times to make
sure that the fluid level does not drop.
3. If the fluid level drops, it indicates fluid leakage.
Call an authorized dealer.
4. If the warning lamp lights and the buzzer sounds
on FE85, never continue driving. Call an autho-
rized dealer.
WARNING
If the brake warning lamp comes on owing to
an excessively low level of brake fluid (or low
power steering fluid pressure on FE85), the
brakes will not be fully effective and driving
will thus be dangerous. Do not drive the vehi-
cle in this condition.
