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.

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.
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.
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.)
