Brake System Warning Light
Your Corvette’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.
This light should come on as you start thc
vehicle. If it doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if
there’s a problem. If this warning light
stays on, there could be
a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right
away.
If the light comes 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
