Antilock Brake System Warning Light - Buick 2008 Allure Owner's Manual

If the light comes on while you are driving, a chime
will sound and you should pull off the road and
stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder
to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. See Towing Your Vehicle
on page 4-26.
CAUTION:
{
Your brake system may not be working
properly if the brake system warning light is
on. Driving with the brake system warning
light on can lead to an accident. If the light
is still on after you have pulled off the road
and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed
for service.
Antilock Brake System
Warning Light
That is normal. If the light does not come on then, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off, if the light
comes on when you are driving, stop as soon as it is
safely possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the
engine again to reset the system. If the ABS light still
stays on, or comes on again while you are driving, your
vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system
warning light is not on, your vehicle still has brakes, but
not antilock brakes. If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, your vehicle does not have antilock
brakes and there is a problem with the regular brakes.
See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-36.
For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC),
see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55 for
all brake related DIC messages.
For vehicles with
the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), this
light comes on briefly
when the engine
is started.
