This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to RUN. If it doesn’t come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s
a problem.

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 “Anti

-

Lock Brake

System Warning Light” and “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 it will stay on
for three seconds.
That’s normal.

If the light comes on when you’re driving, you don’t
have anti

-

lock brakes and there could be a problem with

your regular brakes. 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. Have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
