the engine is running.
The brake warning lamp will come
on:

released), or
• when the parking brake is set

Driving with the brake warning
lamp on can result in an
accident. Have your brake

fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot

on the brake fluid reservoir is
reached, have the brake system
checked for brake pad thickness
