Battery Light When you turnthe key to RUN, this light will come on briefly, to show that your alternator and battery charging systems are working. Brake System Warning Light Your Buick's hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the light stays on, you need service and should take your Buick to the dealer at once.To save your battery until you get there, turn off al accessories, and set your l air system to OFF'. If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. This light should come on briefly as you start the vehicle. If it doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn youif there's a problem. If the light and chime come on while you are driving, 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.
