Chevrolet 1997 Automobile User Manual


 
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 Chevrolet 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.
ASR
(Acceleration Slip Regulation) System
Warning Light
(If
Equipped)
ASR
OFF
This
warning light should
come
on
briefly as
you
start
the engine. If the warning
light doesn’t come on then,
have
it fixed
so
it
will be
ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.
If it stays
on,
or comes
on
when you’re driving, there
may be a problem with your ASR system and your
vehicle may need service. When this warning light is
on,
the system will
not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
If your brakes begin
to
overheat, the brake portion
of
the
ASR
system will shut down, but the throttle and engine
spark control will continue
to
work. The warning light
will not come
on
when this happens.
