Black plate (17,1)
Buick Regal Owner Manual - 2011
Instruments and Controls 5-17
The brake warning light should
come on briefly when the ignition is
placed in ON/RUN. If it does not
come on, have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer.
If this light comes on, there is a
problem with a system on the
vehicle that is causing the parking
brake system to work at a reduced
level. The vehicle can still be driven,
but should be taken to a dealer as
soon as possible. See Parking
Brake on page 9‑31 for more
information.
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
The Antilock Brake System (ABS)
light comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
If the light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the
ignition off. If the light comes on
while driving, stop as soon as it is
safely possible and turn the ignition
off. A chime may also sound when
the light comes on steady. Then
start the engine again to reset the
system. If the ABS light stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the
vehicle needs service. If the regular
brake system warning light is not
on, the vehicle still has brakes, but
not antilock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning light is also
on, the vehicle does not have
antilock brakes and there is a
problem with the regular brakes.
See Brake System Warning Light on
page 5‑16.
See Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 5‑22 for all brake related
DIC messages.
Ultrasonic Parking
Sensor Light
This light comes on to indicate that
there is a malfunction in the system.
See your dealer for service.
See Ultrasonic Parking Assist on
page 9‑42 and Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 5‑22 for more
information.
