Antilock Brake System (Abs); Up-Shift Light; Antilock Brake System (Abs) Warning Light - Chevrolet Sonic 2015 Manual

This light should come on briefly
when the ignition is turned to ON.
If it does not come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light will also come
on when the parking brake is set.

brake does not fully release. If it
stays on after the parking brake is
fully released, it means there is a
brake problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
carefully pull off the road and stop.

may go closer to the floor. It may
take longer to stop. If the light is still
on, have the vehicle towed for
