Parking brake
This braking system uses a BRAKE warning light located on the instrument panel.
The control lamp lights up in the following cases:
- The parking brake is on and the ignition switch is in the "ON". The lamp will turn off when the parking brake is released.
- The brake fluid level is below the minimum level mark on the master cylinder reservoir. The lamp will turn off when the liquid level is above the minimum allowable level.
- To check the lamp circuit, when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" the BRAKE indicator lamp will come on. This will occur even if the parking brake is not engaged and the brake fluid level is above the minimum level mark. The lamp will go out when the engine is started.
The applied parking brake must hold the vehicle and there must be sufficient lever travel. Check the drive cables for fraying, rust, or other damage that could prevent the parking brake lever from moving freely.
