Brake
System
Warning
Light
Your Chevrolet’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
could
be
a
brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
BRAKE
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
topush. Or, the pedal may go closer
to
the
floor.
It
may take longer
to
stop.
If
the
light is still on,
or
if the
anti-lock brake system warning light is flashing, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” and “Towing Your
Vehicle”
in
the Index.)
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
or
if
the
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light
is flashing
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.
