Features Controls
Brake System Warning Light
(CONT.)
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.
Anti-lock Brake System
Warning light
With anti-lock, this light will go on
when you start your engine and may stay
on for several seconds or
so. That’s
normal. If the light doesn’t come on,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you
if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when
you’re driving, stop as soon as possible
and turn the key off. Then start the engine
to reset the system.
If the light still stays
on, or if it comes on again while you’re
driving, your Pontiac needs service.
Unless the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you will still have brakes,
but not anti-lock brakes.
If the regular
mm. 106
c Y
brake system warning light is also on,
see the
Index under Brake System
Warning Light.
The anti-lock brake system warning
light may also come on when you are
driving with a compact spare tire.
If this
happens, the light means you won’t have
anti-lock until you replace the compact
spare with a full-size tire.
If the warning
light stays
on after you replace the
compact spare with a full-size tire, or
comes
on again while you are driving,
your Pontiac needs service.
