Brake System Warning

Light

The vehicle brake system consists
of two hydraulic circuits. If one
circuit is not working, the remaining
circuit can still work to stop the
vehicle. For normal braking
performance, both circuits need to
be working.
If the warning light comes on, there
is a brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected immediately.
This light comes on briefly when the
vehicle is turned on. If it does not
come on then, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
If the light comes on and stays on,
there is a basic braking system
problem.
WARNING
Stop. Do not continue your
journey. Consult a dealer.

Electric Parking Brake

Light
This status light comes on when the
parking brake is applied. If the light
flashes and stays on after the
parking brake is released, or while
driving, there is a problem with the
electric parking brake system.
If the light does not come on,
or remains flashing, see your dealer.
See Electric Parking Brake on
page 9 21 for more information.
Service Electric Parking
Brake Light
The Service Electric Parking Brake
light should come on briefly when
the vehicle is in ON/RUN. If it does
not come on, have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
If this light stays on, there is a
problem with a system on the
vehicle that is causing the parking
brake system to work at a reduced
level. The vehicle can still be driven,
but should be taken to a dealer as
soon as possible. See Electric
Parking Brake on page 9 21 for
