Battery Warning Light
The charging system light will come on
briefly when you turn on the ignition as a
check
to
show you
it
is working. Then it
should
go
out. If
it
stays on, or comes on
while you are driving,
you
may have a
problem with
the
electrical charging
system. It could indicate that
you
have a
loose generator drive belt or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right
away. Driving while this light is on could
drain your battery.
If
you must drive a short distance with
the
light
on,
be certain to turn off all your
accessories, such as
the
radio and air
conditioner.

Brake System Warning
Light
Your
Chevrolet’s hydraulic brake system
is divided into two parts.
If
one part isn’t
working,
the
other part can still work and
stop you. For good braking, though,
you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could
be a brake problem. Have your brake
system inspected right away.
This light should come on as
you
start the
vehicle. If
it
doesn’t come
on
then, have
i
fixed
so
it
will be ready
to
warn
you
if
there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while
you
are
driving, 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. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing
Your
Car” in the Index.)
The brake system warning light will also
come
on
when
you
set your parking
brake, and
it
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.
