Charging System Light
The charging system light will come on
briefly when
you turn on the ignition
and the engine is not running, as a
check to show you it is working. Then it
should go out. If it stays on, or comes
on while you are driving, you may have
a problem with the electrical charging
system.
It could indicate that you have a
loose generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have
it checked
right away. Driving while this light is on
could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with
the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and
air conditioner.
Brake Sysfem Warning Light
Your Chevrolet’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 goes 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.
This light will also come on when you
set your parking brake, and 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
may have
a brake problem. If
the light comes
on while 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. 1
It may take longer to stop. If the light is
still on, have the vehicle towed for
service. (See the
Index under Towing
Your Chevrolet.)

/1 Your brake system may not be
L working properly if the brake
warning light is on. Driving with
the brake warning light
on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still
on after you’ve pulled off the road
and stopped carefully, have the
vehicle towed for service.
