Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors
various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and
parking brake engagement.
If the brake warning light illuminates
the parking brake may be engaged,
the brake fluid level mat be low or
a problem with the anti-lock brake
system (ABS) reservoir may have
occurred.
In all the above situations, a related
message will be displayed.
If the warning light still illuminates
when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder
reservoir, there could be a brake
hydraulic system malfunction or a
problem with the brake booster
detected by the ABS/ESC system.
If this occurs, the warning light will
remain lit until the problem has been
solved. If the problem concerns the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run
when engaging the brake and a brake
pedal pulsation may be felt during
each stop of the vehicle.
