The light also comes on when the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir falls below the specified level.The light should go out after starting the engine and fully releasing the parking brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid res-ervoir is adequate. The light also comes on together with the ABS warning light when the rear brakeforce control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system fails. If the brake system warning light comes onwhile you are driving the vehicle, it may mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting andstopping at the side of the road.– If you determine that it is safe, drivecarefully at low speed to the nearest dealer for repairs, or– Have the vehicle towed to the nearestdealer for repairs.
