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 “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
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

System
Warning
Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on when you start your
ANTI
-
LOCK
engine and may stay
on for several seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light stays
on,
or
comes on when you’re driving,
your vehicle needs service.
If
the regular brake system
warning light isn’t
on,
you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes.
If
the regular brake system
warning light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes
and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See
“Brake System Warning Light” earlier in this section.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN.
If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so
it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
