Anti-Lock
Brake
Svstem
Warning
Light
(Option)
U
ANTI
-
LOCK
With
the
anti-lock
brake
system,
this
light
will
come
on
when
you
start
your
engine
and
it
will
stay
on
for
three
seconds.
That’s
normal.
If the
light
flashes
when
you’re
driving,
you
don’t
have
anti-lock
brakes
and
there
could
be
a
problem
with
your
regular
brakes.
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.
Have
the
vehicle
towed
for
service.
(See
“Towing Your
Vehicle”
in
the
Index.)
Your
regular
brake
system
may
not
be
working
properly
if
the
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light is flashing.
Driving
with
the
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light
flashing
can
lead
to
an
accident.
After
you’ve
pulled
off
the
road
and
stopped
carefully,
have
the
vehicle
towed
for
service.
If
the
anti-lock
brake
system
warning
light
stays
on
longer
than
normal
after
you’ve
started
your
engine,
turn
the
ignition
off.
Or,
if the
light
comes
on
and
stays
on
when
you’re
driving,
stop
as
soon
as
possible
and
turn
the
ignition
off.
Then
start
the
engine
again
to
reset
the
system.
If
the
light
still
stays
on,
or
comes on
again
while
you’re
driving,
your
vehicle
needs
service.
If
the
light
is
on
but
not
flashing
and
the
regular
brake
system
warning
light
isn’t
on,
you
still
have
brakes,
but
you
don’t
have
anti-lock
brakes.
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.
