Cadillac 2010 CTS-V Automobile User Manual


 
4-26 Instruments and Controls
.
The vehicle will not pass this
inspection if the OBD II
(on-board diagnostic) system
determines that critical emission
control systems have not been
completely diagnosed by the
system. The vehicle would be
considered not ready for
inspection. This can happen if
the battery has recently been
replaced or if the battery has run
down. The diagnostic system is
designed to evaluate critical
emission control systems during
normal driving. This can take
several days of routine driving.
If this has been done and the
vehicle still does not pass the
inspection for lack of OBD II
system readiness, your
dealer/retailer can prepare
the vehicle for inspection.
Brake System
Warning Light
This vehicle's hydraulic brake
system is divided into two parts.
If one part is not working, the other
part can still work and stop the
vehicle. For good braking both parts
need to be working well.
If the warning light comes on, there
is a brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected right away.
United States Canada
This light should come on briefly
when the ignition is placed in
ON/RUN. If it does not come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready
to warn if there is a problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light will also come
on when the parking brake is set.
The light will flash or stay on if the
parking brake is not fully released.
If the light stays on after the parking
brake is fully released there is a
base brake problem.

CAUTION
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on.
Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to a
crash. If the light is still on after
the vehicle has been pulled off
the road and carefully stopped,
have the vehicle towed for
service.
