The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-
ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is
indicated by the "Brake Warning Light," which will turn

dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level condi-

the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces-
sary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the "Brake Warning Light" on
is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You
could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked
immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the ABS, are also equipped with
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of
an EBD failure, the "Brake Warning Light" will turn on
along with the "ABS Warning Light." Immediate repair
to the ABS system is required.
Operation of the "Brake Warning Light" can be checked
by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to
the ON position. The light should illuminate for approxi-
