Battery Light
It/
The battery light will come
on when you turn on the
ignition, and the engine is
not
running, as a check
to
show you it is working.
Then it should go out when
the engine starts.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Pontiac'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 warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
If
it
stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you
may have a problem with the electrical charging system.
It could indicate that you have a loose generator drive
belt, or another electrical problem. Have it checked
right away. Driving while this light is on could drain
your battery.
If you
must
drive
a short
distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to RUN. If it doesn't come on then, have
it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem.
