{ CAUTION:

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.

If the light comes on while driving, pull off the road and

stop carefully. The pedal might be harder to push or

might go closer to the ﬂoor. It can take longer to stop. If

the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service.

See Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-43.

Antilock Brake System (ABS)

Warning Light

For vehicles with the

Antilock Brake System

(ABS), this light comes on

brieﬂy when the engine is

started.

If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/

retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator

light then goes off.

If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off. If the light

comes on while driving, stop as soon as it is safely

possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine

again to reset the system. If the ABS light stays on, or

comes on again while driving, the vehicle needs service.

If the regular brake system warning light is not on, the

vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock brakes. If the

regular brake system warning light is also on, the vehicle

does not have antilock brakes and there is a problem with

the regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on

page 3-40.

For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see

DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64 for all brake

related DIC messages.
