Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system divided into is two parts.If one part isn't working, other part can the still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. This light should come on when you turnthe ignition key to START. If it doesn't come on then, have fixed it so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem. I The reading will change the rate of charge changes as (with engine speed, for example), but voltmeter if the reads at 9 volts or below, your instrument panel and other systems may shut down. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will read LOW VOLTAGE when your vehicle is at10 volts or below. Have checked right it away. Driving with the voltmeter reading at volts or 10 below could drain your battery and disable your vehicle.

Voltmeter
I
When
the
key
is in the
ON
position
with
the
engine
not
running,
the
voltmeter
shows
the
voltage
output
of
your
battery.
When
the
engine
is
running,
it shows
the
voltage
output of the
charging
system.
The
reading
will
change
as the
rate of charge
changes
(with
engine
speed,
for
example),
but
if
the
voltmeter
reads
at
9
volts
or
below,
your
instrument
panel
and
other
systems
may
shut
down.
The
Driver
Information
Center
(DIC)
will
read
LOW
VOLTAGE
when
your
vehicle
is
at
10
volts
or
below.
Have
it checked
right
away.
Driving
with
the
voltmeter
reading
at
10
volts or
below
could
drain
your
battery
and
disable
your vehicle.
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.
BRAKE
This
light
should
come
on
when
you
turn
the ignition
key
to
START.
If
it doesn’t
come
on
then,
have
it fixed
so
it will
be
ready
to
warn
you
if
there’s
a
problem.
If
this
warning
light
stays
on
after
you
start the
engine,
the
parking
brake
may
not
be
set
or
there could
be
a
brake
problem.
Refer
to
“Parking
Brake”
in the Index
to
see if
it
is
set.
If the
parking
brake
is
not
set,
have
your
brake
system
inspected
right
away.
