If this warning light stays on after you start the engine,
the parking brake may still be set or there could be
a brake problem. Refer to Parking Brake on page 2-29
to see if it is set. If the parking brake is not set, have
your brake system inspected right away.

If the light comes on while you are driving and you have
a CHECK BRAKE FLUID message showing on the
DIC, 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 on page 4-37.

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 have 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, the light will come
on when your engine is
started and may stay on
for several seconds. That
is normal.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light
comes on when you are driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on,
or comes on again while you are driving, your vehicle
needs service. If the regular brake system warning light
is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have
anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes
and there is a problem with your regular brakes. See
“SERVICE ANTILOCK BRAKES” under DIC Warnings
and Messages
on page 3-53.

The anti-lock brake system warning light will come on
briefly when you turn the ignition on. This is normal.
If the light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
