If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)

CAUTION:

Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light

With the anti

-

lock brake

system, this light will come
on when you start your
engine and may stay on for
several seconds.
That’s normal.

If the light stays on, or comes on when you’re driving,
your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system
warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti

-

lock brakes. If the regular brake system

warning light is also on, you don’t have anti

-

lock brakes

and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See
“Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this section.

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.
