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.
If the warning light comes on,
there is a brake problem. Have the
brake system inspected right away.
{ 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.
This light should come on briefly
when the ignition key is turned to
ON/RUN. If it does not come on then,
have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn if there is a problem.
This light can also come on due
to low brake fluid. See Brakes
on page 5-25 for more information.
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light will also come
on when the parking brake is set.
The light will stay on if the parking
brake does not release fully. If it
stays on after the parking brake is
fully released, it means there is a
brake problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
Make sure the parking brake is
fully released. The pedal, might
be harder to push or, the pedal
can go closer to the floor. It could
take longer to stop. If the light is
still on, have the vehicle towed for
service. See Towing Your Vehicle
on page 4-21.
