Brake System Warning Light - Pontiac 2006 Torrent Owner's Manual

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 brake system warning light comes on, there is
a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected
right away.
United States
The brake light is located in the instrument panel cluster.
3-28
This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to RUN. If it doesn't come on then, have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a
problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake light will come on
when you set your parking brake. The light will stay on
if your parking brake doesn't release fully. A chime
will also sound if the parking brake is not fully released
and the vehicle is moving. If it stays on after your
parking brake is fully released, it means you have a
brake problem.
The brake light will also come on to indicate a low
brake fluid level. See Brakes on page 5-32 for more
information.
