electrical system overload.
BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT

pads may contain asbestos which can irritate eyes and may
cause other health hazards. A water based solution should be
used to clean brake dust from wheel and brake components.
DO NOT use compressed air to blow off brake dust.
BRAKE SYSTEM
CAUTION: If brake warning light comes on while driving it indicates
a low fluid level or failure in one of the braking
circuits. If the brake pedal can be depressed further than
normal it is an indication that one of the brake circuits
is not functioning. Stop vehicle and check brake reservoir
fluid level. If level is below MIN mark, DO NOT drive
vehicle. Have it towed to a repair shop. If level is
between the MIN and MAX marks, proceed cautiously to a
repair shop.

BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE WITH ENGINE NOT RUNNING

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Continued operation of vehicle with a severe malfunction

excessive spark advance. This could cause serious engine damage.
