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 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.
IT
you try to drive
off
with
the
parking brake set, a
chime will also come on until you release the parking
brake.
If
the light and chime stay on after your parking
brake is fully released, it means you have
a
brake problem

With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on when you start your
engine and may stay on
for several seconds.
That’s normal.
If
the light stays on,
turn
the ignition
off.
Or,
if the light
comes 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 regular
brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes,
but you don’t have anti-lock brakes.
If
the
regular brake
system warning light
is
also on, you don’t have mti-lock
brakes and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See
“Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this part.
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.
