Charging System Light; Brake System Warning Light - Chevrolet 2000 Prizm Owner's Manual

Charging System Light

If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you
may have a problem with the electrical charging system.
It could indicate that you have a loose generator drive
belt or another electrical problem. Have it checked
right away. Driving while this light is on could drain
your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the charging
system light on, be certain to turn off all your
accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.
This light will come on
briefly when you turn on
the ignition, but the engine
is not running, as a check
to show you it is working.
Then it should go out
when the engine starts.

Brake System Warning Light

Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
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 "Anti
System Warning Light" and "Towing Your Vehicle"
in the Index.)
This light should come on
when you turn the key to
START. If it doesn't come
on then, have it fixed so it
will be ready to warn you
if there's a problem.
