Brake
System
Warning
Light
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will 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.
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 could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
