However, if the brake pedal does not
feel normal, you should take
immediate action. A problem in one
part of the system’s dual circuit
design will still give you braking at
two wheels. You will feel the brake
pedal go down much farther before
the vehicle begins to slow down, and
you will have to press harder on the
pedal. Slow down by shifting to a lower
gear, and pull to the side of the road
when it is safe. Because of the long
distance needed to stop, it is
hazardous to drive the vehicle. You
should have it towed and repaired as
soon as possible (see
on page ).
If you must drive the vehicle a short
distance in this condition, drive
slowly and carefully.
The brake system
indicator normally
comes on when
you turn the ignition switch to ON
(II), and as a reminder to check the
parking brake. It will stay on if you
do not fully release the parking
brake.
If the fluid level is low, take the
vehicle to your dealer and have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.
If the brake system indicator comes
on while driving, the brake fluid level
is probably low in the reservoir.
Press lightly on the brake pedal to
see if it feels normal. If it does,
check the brake fluid level the next
time you stop at a service station
(see page
).
