Parking Brake

This braking system uses a BRAKE warning light located in instrument panel cluster, following conditions will activate BRAKE lamp:

• The parking brake is applied when ignition is ON. Lamp will turn off when parking brake is released.
• The fluid level is below minimum mark in master cylinder reservoir. Lamp will turn off when fluid level is above minimum.
• As a test of lamp circuit, BRAKE lamp will glow dimly when ignition is ON, even if parking brake is off and fluid level is above minimum. Lamp will turn off when engine is started. When brake is firmly applied, parking brake should hold vehicle with ample pedal travel remaining. Check for frayed cables, rust, etc., or any condition that may inhibit present (or future) free movement of parking brake lever assembly.
