Brake System Indicator
If the brake
U.S.

system indicator
comes on while
driving, the brake fluid level is
probably low in the reservoir. Press
lightly on the brake pedal to see if it
feels normal. If it does, check the
brake fluid level the next time you
stop at a service station (see page
). If the fluid level is low, take

your vehicle to the dealer and have
the brake system inspected for leaks
or worn brake pads.

Taking Care of the Unexpected
However, if the brake pedal does not
feel normal, you should take
immediate action. A problem in one
part of the system's dual circuit
design will still give you braking at
two wheels. You will feel the brake
pedal go down much farther before
the vehicle begins to slow down and
you will have to press harder on the
pedal.
Slow down by shifting to a lower
gear, and pull to the side of the road
when it is safe. Because of the long
distance needed to stop, it is
hazardous to drive the vehicle. You
should have it towed and repaired as
soon as possible (see
Emergency
Towing
on page
215
).
If you must drive the vehicle a short
distance in this condition, drive
slowly and carefully.
