Brake
system
Warning
Light
Your Buick’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.
*
Tlus
light should come on
when you turn the key to
STmT. 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 and chime come 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, have the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing
Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
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 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
you try to drive
off
with the parking brake set,
a chime
will
also
come on until you release the
parking brake.
If
the light and chime stay on after your
parking brake is fully released, it means you have a
brake problem.
