However, if the brake pedal does
not feel normal, you should take
immediate action. A problem in one
part of the system’s dual circuit
design will still give you braking at
two wheels. You will feel the brake
pedal go down much farther before
the vehicle begins to slow down,
and you will have to press harder
on the pedal.
Slow down and pull to the side of the
road when it is saf e. Because of the
long distance needed to stop, it is
hazardous to drive the vehicle. You
should have it towed and repaired as
soon as possible (seeonpage ). If this indicator comes on for any
other reason, have your vehicle
inspected by your dealer. There
may be a malfunction with the
electric brake distribution (EBD)
system. Avoid hard braking and
high speed driving.
If the f luid level is low, take your
vehicle to a dealer, and have the
brake system inspected f or leaks or
worn brake pads. If the brake system indicator comes
on while driving, the brake f luid level
is probably low. Press lightly on the
brake pedal to see if it f eels normal.
If it does, check the brake f luid level
thenexttimeyoustopataservice
station (see page).
The brake system indicator normally
comes on when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position and as
a reminder to check the parking
brake. If you do not release the
parking brake, the indicator will stay
on, and you will see a ‘‘RELEASE
PARKING BRAKE’’ message on the
multi-inf ormation display.
You will also see a ‘‘BRAKE FLUID
LOW’’ or ‘‘CHECK BRAKE
SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-
inf ormation display (see
page).
If you must drive the vehicle a short
distance in this condition, drive
slowly and caref ully.
If the ABS indicator comes on with
the brake system indicator, have
your vehicle inspected by your
dealer immediately. 89

Select a nearby lightly traveled
major highway where you can
maintain a speed of 50 to 60
mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least
20 minutes. Drive on the
highway in D. Do not use the
cruise control. When traffic
allows, drive for 90 seconds
without moving the accelerator
pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary
slightly; this is okay.) If
you cannot do this for a
continuous 90 seconds because
of traffic conditions, drive for at
least 30 seconds, then repeat it
two more times (for a total of
90 seconds).Then drive in city/suburban
traffic for at least 10 minutes.
When traffic conditions allow,
let the vehicle coast for several
seconds without using the
accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal.
Make sure the vehicle has been
parked with the engine off for
30 minutes.
If the testing f acility determines the
readiness codes are still not set, see
your dealer.
