3 Brake warning lamp
<FK61F>
The brake warning lamp will light up and a buzzer
will sound if the brake fluid in the brake fluid reser-
voir tank falls below the predetermined level, or if
the brake shoe clearance exceeds the predeter-
mined value.
NOTE:
With the starter switch in the “ON” position and the
engine not running, the warning lamp will illumi-
nate. It is normal if the lamp will go out when the
engine is started.
• If the warning lamp stays illuminated
1. Check the level of the fluid in the brake fluid res-
ervoir tank.
2. If fluid level is found to be low, check for leaks.
3. If leaks are detected, call an authorized dealer.
4. If fluid leaks are not detected, fill with fluid to the
normal level.
5. If the lamp illuminates even when the brake fluid
level is correct or after fluid has been added,
have the brakes inspected by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
• If the warning lamp illuminates when the
brake pedal is depressed
Brake shoe clearance (the clearance between the
brake drum and brake shoe lining) is adjusted auto-
matically. If the brake performance has deteriorated
and warning lamp illuminates together with the
buzzer sounding when the brake pedal is
depressed, the brake shoe clearance has become
excessive. Have the brakes inspected by an autho-
rized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never continue driving if the warning
lamp is illuminated. The brakes are danger-
ously ineffective and could cause an acci-
dent.
