This light comes on briefly when the ignition key is
turned to ON/RUN. If it does not, 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
comes on when the parking brake is set. See Parking
Brake
on page 3‑33
for more information. The light
stays 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. The brake pedal might be harder to push, or it
might go closer to the floor. It can take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service.
See Towing Your Vehicle on page 5‑39.
