ANTI-
LOCK
With the anti-lock brake system, this light will come on
when you start your engine and it will stay on for three
seconds. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come on,
have it fixed
so
it will be ready to warn
you
if there
is
a
problem.
If the light flashes when you’re driving,
you
don’t have
anti-lock brakes and there could be a problem with your
regular brakes. 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.
Have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your
Car’’ in the Index.)
If
the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you’ve started your engine, turn
the ignition
off.
Or,
if the light comes
on
and stays
on
when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the
ignition off.
Then
start the engine again to reset
the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you’re driving, your Buick needs service. If the
light is
on
but not flashing and the regular brake system
warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes.
