However, if the brake pedal does not

feel normal, you should take

immediate action. Because of the

brake system’s dual-circuit design, a

problem in one part of the system

will still give you braking at two

wheels. You will feel the brake pedal

go down much farther before the

vehicle begins to slow down, and you

will have to press harder on the

pedal. The distance needed to stop

will be much longer.

If it comes on at any other time, it

indicates a problem with the vehicle’s

brake system. In most cases, the

problem is a low fluid level in the

brake fluid reservoir. Press lightly on

the brake pedal to see if it feels

normal. If it does, check the brake

fluid level the next time you stop at a

service station (see page ). If the

fluid level is low, take the vehicle to

your dealer and have the brake

system inspected for leaks or worn

brake pads.

Slow down by shifting to a lower

gear, and pull to the side of the road

when it is safe. Because of the

longer distance needed to stop, it is

hazardous to drive the vehicle. You

should have it towed, and repaired as

soon as possible. (See

on page .)

If you must drive the vehicle a short

distance in this condition, drive

slowly and cautiously.

The Brake System Indicator comes

on when you turn the ignition ON

(II). If the parking brake is not set, it

goes off after you start the engine. If

the parking brake is set, it goes off

when you fully release the parking

brake with the engine running.
