When it comes on, you will also hear a warning tone.
The PRIMARY BRAKE warning light may come on,
and the warning tone may sound, when you're turning
and braking at the same time. This is normal.
See "Hydraulic Brake Systems" in the Index.
When this light comes on, you will also hear a
warning tone.

If the PRIMARY BRAKE
warning light comes on, it
means that the fluid level
in the master cylinder
reservoir is low or there is
another problem with your
primary hydraulic brakes.
If the AUX BRAKE
warning light comes on, it
means that there is
something wrong in the
auxiliary brake system.
Both of these lights should come on briefly every time
you start the engine. If they don't come on then, have
them fixed so they will be ready to warn you if there's a
problem. If one or both of these warning lights stay on
after you start the engine, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
If one or both of these lights come on and stay 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 either light is still on, have the vehicle towed for
service. (See "Towing Your Vehicle" in the Index.)
See "Hydraulic Brake Systems" in the Index for
more information.
CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if a brake system warning light is on. Driving
with either of the brake system warning lights on
can lead to an accident. If either light is still on
after you've pulled off the road and stopped
carefully, have the vehicle towed for service.
