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 light comes on while you are driving, carefully pull off the road and stop. 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 on page 4-33. If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.

If it doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem. 3-28
