Brake System Warning
Light
This vehicle's hydraulic brake
system is divided into two parts.
If one part is not working, the other
part can still work and stop the

is a brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected right away.

on
page 10‑22for more information.
When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light will also come
on when the parking brake is set.
