Your

can still work
and
stop you.
For

need both
parts
working
well.
If the
warning
light comes on, there coulc
be
a

problem. Have your
brake
system inspected
right

This light should come on as you start thc
vehicle. If
it doesn’t come
on
then,

will
be
ready to warn
you
if
there’s
a

notice that the
pedal
is
harder
to
push. Or,
the

towed for
service. (See “Anti-Lock

come on
when
you set your
parking
brake,
and -it will
stay on if your
parking
brake

fixed
so
it
will
be
ready to warn
you
if
there
is
a

and
there’s
a
problem
with
your
regular
brakes.

and
stop

the
pedal
is
