BRAKE
Brake
System
Warning
Light
Your Oldsmobile’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 warning light comes on,
there
could be
a
brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on
as you start
the vehicle. If it
doesn’t come on
then,
have it fixed
so
it will
be
ready to
warn
you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes 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,
or
if
the
anti-
lock brake system warning light is
flashing, have the vehicle towed for
service. (See
Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning
Light
and
Towing
Your
Vehicle
in the
Index.)
The
brake system warning light will also
come on when you set your parking
brake,
and
it will stay
on
if your parking
brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on
after your parking brake is
fully
released, it means you have a
brake
problem.
