Anti-Lock Brake System Active Light
(Option)
If the anti-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you've started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you're driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you're driving, your Geo needs service. If the
light is on but not flashing and the regular brake system
warning light isn't on, you still have brakes, but you
don't have anti-lock brakes.
ACTIVE
When your anti-lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid,
the ABS ACTIVE light will
come on. Slippery road
ACTIVE conditions may exist if this
%
light comes on, so adjust
F
your driving accordingly.
The light will stay on for a few seconds after the system
stops adjusting brake pressure.
The ABS ACTIVE light also comes on briefly, as a bulb
check, when the engine is started. If the light doesn't
come on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you
when the system is active.
