Brake System Indicator

The Brake System indicator light

should normally come on only when

the parking brake is not fully

released.

If it comes on at any other time, it

indicates a problem with the car's

brake system. In most cases, the

problem is a low fluid level in the

brake fluid reservoir. Press lightly on

the brake pedal to see if it feels

normal. If it does, check the brake

fluid level the next time you stop at a

service station (see page

155

). If the

fluid level is low, take the car to your

dealer and have the brake system

inspected for leaks or worn brake

pads.

However, if the brake pedal does not

feel normal, you should take

immediate action. Because of the

brake system's dual-circuit design, a

problem in one part of the system

will still give you braking at two

wheels. You will feel the brake pedal

go down much farther before the car

begins to slow down, and you will

have to press harder on the pedal.

The distance needed to stop will be

much longer.

Slow down by shifting to a lower

gear, and pull to the side of the road

when it is safe. Because of the

longer distance needed to stop, it is

hazardous to drive the car. You

should have it towed, and repaired as

soon as possible. (See

Emergency

Towing

on page

210

If you must drive the car a short

distance in this condition, drive

slowly and cautiously.
