Brake System Warning
Light
The vehicle brake system consists of
electronically controlled hydraulic
brake circuits. If a fault is detected,
valves are adjusted to allow the brake
pedal to push brake fluid directly into
the hydraulic brake circuits. When a
fault occurs, the brake system warning
light comes on, and Driver
Information Center (DIC) messages
may display. Vehicle speed may also
be limited and the amount of brake
pedal force applied may need to
increase. Have the vehicle brake
system serviced as soon as possible.
This light should come on briefly
when the engine is started. If it does
not come on then, have it fixed so it
will be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
The brake system warning light may
also come on when the parking brake
is set, if the vehicle has low brake
fluid, or if the brakes are severely
faded. See
. If the
brakes are overheated, DIC messages
may display, and the vehicle speed
may be limited. If the brake fluid is
not low, if the brakes are not
overheated, and if the parking brake is
fully released, then the vehicle has a
brake problem. Have the vehicle brake
system serviced as soon as possible.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
The pedal might be harder to push,
or the pedal may go closer to the
floor. It could take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service. See
.

Warning
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
Electric Parking Brake
Light
The parking brake status light comes
on when the parking brake is applied.
If the light continues flashing after
the parking brake is released, or while
driving, there is a problem with the
electric parking brake system.
A message may also display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
If the light does not come on,
or remains flashing, see your dealer.
