Check the brake warning light each time
you start the engine. The light is located
in the instrument panel. This warning
light will be illuminated when the engine
is running and the parking brake is set.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake
is fully released and the brake warning
light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on
after the parking brake is released, there
may be a malfunction in the brake
system. Immediate attention is
necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the
vehicle immediately. If that is not
possible, use extreme caution in
operating the vehicle and only drive it
until you reach the first safe location or a
repair shop.
