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 closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop.
If
the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
-:\
CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is
on.
Driving
with the brake system warning light
on
can lead
to an accident.
If
the light is still on after you’ve
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
When
the
ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake. The
light will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully. If
it
stays on after your parking brake is fully
released,
it
means you have a brake problem.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With
the
anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on when
you
start your
engine and it will stay
on for three seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to
OFF.
Or, if the
light comes
on
when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your Oldsmobile
needs service. If the regular brake system warning light
isn’t
on,
you still have brakes, but
you
don’t have
anti-lock brakes.
If
the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and
there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake
System Warning Light” earlier in this section.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN.
If
the
light doesn’t come
on
then, have
it
fixed
so
it will be
ready to warn you if there is
a
problem.
