Battery Warning Light This light will come on briefly when you start the vehicle, as a check to show you it is working; then it should go out. Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have a problem with the electrical charging system. It could indicate that you have a generator problem or another electrical system problem. Have it checked right away. Driving while this light is on could drain your battery. If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio and climate control system. On the DIC a CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM message will be displayed and a warning chime will sound. See "DIC Warnings and Messages" in the Index for more information. United States Canada This light should come on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If it doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem. If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See "Towing Your Vehicle" in the Index. 2-69
