Brake System Warning Light

Your vehicle has a divided brake system. If one
part isn't working, the other part can still work
and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both systems working well. If the warning
light goes on, there could be a problem. Have
your brake system inspected right away.

not shift into overdrive. Depressing the button
on the shift selector again will return the vehicle
