does not release fully. If it stays on
after the parking brake is fully
released, it means there is a brake
problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
Make sure the parking brake is fully
released. The pedal may be harder
to push or, the pedal may go closer
to the floor. It may take longer to
