Battery Light
I-+I
The battery warning light is
designed to 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. 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 light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Buick'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 could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right
away.
BRAKE
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.
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, or if the
anti-lock
brake system warning light
is
flashing, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See "Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light" and 'Towing Your Vehicle" in the Index.)
