Brake
System
Warning
Light
Your vehicle’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 warning light comes on, there is
a
brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
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, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing
Your
Vehicle”
in the Index.)

Your brake system may not
be

If
the light
is
still
on
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,
