Brake System Warning

Light

The vehicle brake system consists
of two hydraulic circuits. If one

If the warning light comes on, there
is a brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected right away.

This light comes on briefly when the
vehicle is turned on. If it does not
come on then, have it fixed so it will
