However, if the brake pedal does not
feel normal, you should take
immediate action. A problem in one
part of the system’s dual circuit
design will still give you braking at
two wheels. You will feel the brake
pedal go down much farther before
the vehicle begins to slow down, and
you will have to press harder on the
pedal.
Slow down by shifting to a lower
gear, and pull to the side of the road
when it is safe. Because of the long
distance needed to stop, it is
hazardous to drive the vehicle. You
should have it towed and repaired as
soon as possible (see
on page
).
If you must drive the vehicle a short
distance in this condition, drive
slowly and carefully.
If this indicator comes on
while driving, the brake
fluid level is probably low in the
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
). If the fluid
level is low, take the vehicle to your
dealer and have the brake system
inspected for leaks or worn brake
pads.
