GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
PARKING BRAKE
This braking system uses a BRAKE warning light lo-
cated in the instrument panel cluster. When the ignition
switch is in the START position, the BRAKE warning
light should glow and go OFF when the the ignition
DAEWOO J-100 BL2 / BL3
PARKING BRAKE 4G - 13
switch returns to the RUN position. Whenever the
parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is ON,
the BRAKE warning light should glow.
When the brake is firmly applied, the parking brake
should hold the vehicle with ample pedal travel remain-
ing. Check for frayed cables, rust, etc. or any condition
that many inhibit present (or future) free movement of
the parking brake lever assembly.
