Brake System
Warning Light

The vehicle’s hydraulic brake
system is divided into two parts.
If one part is not working, the other
part can still work and stop the
vehicle. For good braking both parts
need to work well.

If the warning light comes on,
there is a brake problem. Have the
brake system inspected right away.

If the vehicle has antilock brakes,
this light should come on when
the key is turned to START. If it
does not come on, 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 also comes on
when parking brake is set. The light
stays on if the parking brake does
not fully release. If it stays on after
the parking brake is fully released,
it means the vehicle has a brake
problem.

If, while driving, the light comes on
and a brake message comes on
the Driver Information Center (DIC),
pull off the road and stop carefully.
The pedal could be harder to
push or the pedal can go closer
to the floor. It could take longer
to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service.

Warning Light on page 4-23

WARNING

The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on.
Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to a
crash. If the light is still on after
the vehicle has been pulled off
the road and carefully stopped,
have the vehicle towed for
service.

The Brake message remains on
until the menu button is pressed.
The brake light remains until
the problem is fixed. See Brake
System Messages on page 4-31
