Brake System Warning Light
Your Pontiac'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 goes on, there could
be a brake problem. Have your brake
system inspected right away.
This light should come on as you start the
vehicle. If it doesn't come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if
there's a problem.
This light will also come on when you set
your parking brake, and 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.
If the light comes on while 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.)

Your brake system may not be
working properly if the brake
I
warning light is on. Driving with the
brake 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.
