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.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
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 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
Vehicle”
in
the Index.)
