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 workmg well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be
a
brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
BRAKE
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, 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
.)

UTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if
the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to
an accident. If the light is still on or if the
anti-lock brake system warning light is flashing
after you’ve pulled
off
the road and stopped
carefully, have the vehicle towed for service.
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also 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.
