Brake System Warning Light - Buick 2009 Enclave Owner's Manual

3-34 Instrument Panel
Brake System Warning
Light
This vehicle's hydraulic brake
system is divided into two parts.
If one part is not working, the other
part can still work and stop the
vehicle. For good braking both
parts need to be working.
If the warning light comes on,
there is a brake problem. Have the
brake system inspected right away.
United States
This light should come on briefly
when the ignition key is turned to
ON/RUN. If it does not come on then,
have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn if there is a problem.
This light may also come on due to
low brake fluid. See Brakes on
page 5-26 for more information.
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light will also come
on when the parking brake is set.
The light will stay on if the parking
brake does not release fully. If it
stays on after the parking brake is
fully released, it means there is a
brake problem.
Canada
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
stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. See
Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-20.

CAUTION
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning
light on can lead to a crash. If the
light is still on after the vehicle
has been pulled off the road and
carefully stopped, have the
vehicle towed for service.
