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.

If you must drive the vehicle a short
distance in this condition, drive
slowly and carefully.

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 the brake system
indicator comes on while
driving, the brake fluid
level is probably low. Press
lightly on the brake pedal if
it feels normal. If it does
not, 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.
