a specialist garage as quickly as possible and adjust your style of driving in the

If the brake system warning light
warning light
stop the vehicle immediately and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir ⇒ page 217, "Brake fluid". If the fluid level has dropped
below the MIN marking, do not drive any further - risk of accident! Contact
a Škoda dealer to obtain professional assistance.
•
Pay attention to the following instructions ⇒ page 210, "Working in the
engine compartment" before checking the brake fluid level and opening the
bonnet.
•
If the brake fluid is at the correct level, the ABS control function has
failed. The rear wheels may then block very rapidly when braking. In certain
circumstances, this can result in the rear end of the car breaking away - risk
of skidding! Drive carefully to the nearest specialist garage and have the
fault rectified.

The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The warning light comes on when driving when a control cycle is activated.
