PURPOSE
The ABS/EBD system is designed to provide the driver
with maximum vehicle control during emergency
braking conditions. This operation should be faster
and more reliable than the driver. Following is a list of
brake related instrument panel lights that the driver
should be observing for the ABS/EBD system installed
in the 2004.5 Spectra.
1. The brake and ABS indicators are all brake related
warning lights on fully equipped Spectra. The
driver should occasionally confirm that these
warning lights illuminate by turning ON the ignition
switch to on, but not start the engine. Any light
that does not illuminate should be checked. After
starting the engine, the driver should confirm that
the warning lights go OFF. Any lights remaining
ON indicate a situation that needs attention. The
driver can consult the owner's manual for further
information.
2. The parking brake fluid level warning light is
illuminated when the parking brake is applied with
the ignition switch in the ON or START position; it
should turn OFF when the parking brake is
released. If the light remains ON. It may indicate
that the brake fluid level in the reservoir is low. To
be safe, the driver should check the level
immediately and look for potential brake fluid leaks.
Add brake fluid as required and don't drive vehicle
if light remains ON.
