Warning and Indicator Lights

Brake System Light
The warning light for the brakes indicates two things — that
either the parking brake is on or not fully released, or that the
brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder reservoir. If the
fluid level is low, add fluid to the reservoir as defined under
the procedure in "Maintenance and Care."
The brake system light
The BRAKE light normally comes on when you turn the
ignition key to the ON or START position to verify that the
indicator bulb is working. If the light stays on or comes on
when the engine is running and after you have released the
parking brake fully, check the brake fluid.
The BRAKE light indicates that the brakes may not be
working properly. Have the brakes checked immediately.
