Have it checked right away.
Driving while this light is on could
drain your battery.
If there is a problem with the
battery charging system, a
message will be displayed. See
"Driver Information Center
Messages" later in this section.
If you must drive a short distance
with the light on, turn off all your
accessories, such as the radio and
air conditioner.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle has "dual" brake
systems. If one system fails, the
other system can still stop your
vehicle.
This light should come on briefly
as you start your engine, as a check
to show you it is working properly.
If it doesn't come on, then have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
Section 1
This light appears when the fluid
level in the reservoir is low or if
there is another problem with the
brakes.
A chime will sound to alert you
when this warning light turns on.
See "Brake Master Cylinder Fluid"
in Section 4.
If the light comes on and the
chime sounds while you are
driving, pull over and stop
carefully.
The brake pedal may be harder to
push or it may go closer to the
floor. It may take longer to stop.
If the light stays on, have the
vehicle towed for service. The
brake system should be inspected
right away.
