Brake System Warning Light
Your Oldsmobile'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 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.)
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
:This light should come on briefly as you start the
vehicle. If it doesn't come on then, have
it fixed so it
mill be ready to warn you if there's a problem.
The brake.system warning light will also come on when
you set your parking brake,
and
it will stayion if your
parking brake doesn't release fully. If it stays on after
your parking brake is fuily released, it means you have a
brakerproblem.
