Parking brake
This braking system uses a BRAKE indicator lamp located on the instrument panel.
The indicator lamp lights up in the following cases:
- The parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. The lamp will go out when the parking brake is released.
- The brake fluid level is below the minimum level mark on the master cylinder reservoir. The light will go out when the fluid level is above the minimum level.
- To check the lamp circuit, when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, the BRAKE indicator lamp will light dimly. This will happen even if the parking brake is not applied and the brake fluid level is above the minimum permissible level mark. The lamp will go out when the engine is started.
The parking brake should hold the vehicle when engaged, and there should be sufficient travel of the lever. Check the drive cables for wear, rust, and other defects that may interfere with the free movement of the parking brake lever.
