parking brake pedal with your left foot. If the ignition is

running, your parking brake should go off. If
it doesn’t, you have a
parking brake problem and should have it fixed.

Here’s how your light systems work:
Headlight “On” Warning
If the manual light switch is left on (as when someone has parked your
car), you’ll hear a warning tone when you turn
off the ignition and open
the driver’s door. -
Power Drain Protection
*-
When the ignition is off and the interior lights or underhood light are
accidentally left on, they will automatically shut off after after
10 minutes.
This protects you from a possible dead battery. To turn power back on,
lift up on the outside door handle or turn the ignition to the
RUN
position.

This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you turn the ignition key just
to
let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not
be alarmed when this happens.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
the manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’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
goes on, there could be
a brake problem. Have
your brake system
inspected right away.

I_ This light should come on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

This light will also come on when you set your parking brake, and 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.
If the
light comes on while 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 Cadillac” in the Index.)
A CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake
warning light
is on. Driving with the brake 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.
