Brake
System
Warning
L&ht
Your
Oldsmobile’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.
This
light
should
come
on
as you
start
the
vehicle. If
it
doesn’t
come on
then,
have
it
fixed so
it
will
be
ready
to
warn
you
if
there’s a problem.
This light
will
also
come
on
when
you
set
your
parking
brake,
and
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.
If
the
light
comes
on
while 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
the
Index
under
Towz’ng
Your
Oldsmobile.)
A
Your brake
system
may
not
be
working
properly
if
the
brake
warning
light is on.
Driving
with
the
brake
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.
