Brake System Warning Light
Your Oldsmobile’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 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, or if the
anti-lock brake system warning light
is
flashing, have
the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” and “Towing Your Vehicle” in
the Index.)
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 as you start the
vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so
it
mill be ready to warn you
if
there’s a problem.
The brake.system warning light will also come on when
you set your parking brake,
and
it will stayion
if
your
parking
brake doesn’t release fully.
If
it stays on after
your parking brake is fuily released, it means you have a
brakerproblem.
