hazard. Stop the car and get professional
assista nee.
- USA models: If the 1111 warn ing light,
the
G1 warning light and the (i1!B warn­
ing light come on together, the rea r

fied workshop. Drive slowly and avoid
sudden, hard brake applications.
- Canada models: If the brake warning

- If the brake warning/indicator light does
not go out afte r a few seconds and the
par king brake is released, or lights up

respond with max imum s topping powe r
in critical s ituations . You must allow for
increased braking dis tan ces. The extra
d istance u sed up by fading br akes could
lead to an acciden t.
