Your regular brake system may not be working
properly if the anti-lock brake system warning
light is flashing. Driving with the anti-lock brake
system warning light flashing can lead
to
an
accident. After you’ve pulled off the road and
stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed
for service.
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.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when
you
turn
the
ignition key to
RUN.
If
the
light doesn’t come
on
then, have it fixed
so
it
will be
ready to warn you
if
there is a problem.
