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.
If the ABS indicator and the TCS
indicator come on with the brake
system indicator, have the vehicle
inspected by your dealer
immediately.
If the brake system indicator comes
on while driving, the brake fluid level
is probably low. 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
).
If the fluid level is low, take the
vehicle to your dealer and have the
brake system inspected for leaks or
worn brake pads.
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 lit if you do
not fully release the parking brake.
