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
to
push. 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.)
A
I
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.
