Brake System Warning Light
The vehicle brake system consists of two
hydraulic circuits. If one circuit is not
working, the remaining circuit can still work
to stop the vehicle. For normal braking
performance, both circuits need to be
working If the warning light comes on,
there is a brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected right away
.
Warning
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.
Brake
This light should come on briefly when the
ignition is turned to ON. If it does not come
on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn if there is a problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake system
warning light will also come on when the
parking brake is set. The light will stay on if
the parking brake does not fully release. If
it stays on after the parking brake is fully
released, it means there is a brake
problem.
If the light comes on while driving, carefully
pull off the road and stop. The pedal may
be harder to push or may go closer to the
floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light
is still on, have the vehicle towed for
service.

Light

This light comes on briefly when the engine
is started.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to
LOCK/OFF or if the light comes on, stop as
soon as possible and turn the ignition off.
Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes
on again while driving, the vehicle needs
service. Contact Vanderhall Service. If the
regular brake system warning light is not
on, the brakes will still work, but the
antilock brakes will not work. If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, the
antilock brakes will not work and there is a
problem with the regular brakes.
