Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation

WARNING LAMP OPERATION
This brake system uses a BRAKE warning lamp located in the instrument panel cluster.
The following conditions will activate the BRAKE lamp:
- Parking brake applied. The light should be on whenever the parking brake is applied and the ignition is ON.
- Low fluid level. A low fluid level in the master cylinder will turn the BRAKE lamp on.
- As a test of the lamp circuit, vehicles with antilock brakes will momentarily illuminate the lamp for about 4 seconds when the ignition is ON.
