This light also comes on when you
set your parking brake while the
ignition is on.
If you begin to drive while the
parking brake is not yet released,
the brake system warning light will
stay on and a chime will sound to
alert you.
If it stays on after the parking brake
is fully released, it means you may
have a brake problem.
Have it checked right away.
If the light does not come on when
the parking brake is set, have your
vehicle serviced.
CAUTION
Driving with the brake warning
light on can lead to an accident.
Have the brakes checked
immediately if the brake
warning light stays on.
Have the vehicle towed for
service.
If the Brake System Warning Light
and the Antilock Brake System
Warning Light both turn on and
you hear a ten second chime,
there may be a problem with the
dynamic rear proportioning
system.
See "Dynamic Rear Proportioning"
under "Brakes" in Section 3 for
more information.
Antilock Brake System Warning
Light
This light should come on briefly
as you start your engine, as a check
to show you it is working properly.
If it doesn't come on, then have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
If it stays on or comes on while
you are driving, there may be a
problem with this system.
A text message may also appear in
the Driver Information Center
display.
