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.)
A
CAUTIOI-
I
Anti-Lock
Brake
System Warning
Light
Your brake
system
may
not
be
working
properly
if
the
brake
system
warning
light
is on.
Driving
with
the
brake
system
warning
light
on
can
lead
to an accident. If
the
light
is
still
on
after
you’ve
pulled
off
the
road
and
stopped
carefully,
have
the
vehicle
towed
for
service.
When the
ignition
is
on,
the
brake
system
warning
light
will also come
on
when
you
set
your
parking
brake. The
light
will
stay
on
if your
parking
brake
doesn’t
release
fully. If it stays
on
after your
parking
brake
is
fully
released, it means
you
have a brake
problem.
ANTI
-
LOCK
With
the anti-lock brake
system, this
light
will
come
on
when
you
start
your engine and may stay
on
for
several
seconds.
That’s
normal.
If the
light stays
on,
or comes
on
when
you’re
driving,
your
vehicle
needs
service. If the
regular
brake
system
warning
light
isn’t
on,
you still
have
brakes,
but
you
don’t
have
anti-lock
brakes. If the regular brake
system
warning
light
is
also
on,
you
don’t
have
anti-lock
brakes
and
there’s
a
problem
with
your
regular
brakes. See
“Brake System Warning
Light” earlier
in
this
part.
The
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light
should
come
on
briefly
when
you
turn
the
ignition
key
to
RUN.
If the
light
doesn’t come
on
then,
have it fixed
so
it
will be
ready to warn
you
if there is a problem.
