The rear fog light is switched off automatically
when the engine is switched off. When

Brake warning light
This warning lamp indicates when the brake
fluid level is too low, see page 184.
The following message appears in DIC at
the same time:
Brake fluid level low.
Make a safe stop.
WARNING
• Never drive the car when this light is
illuminated - risk of brake failure.
• If the level of brake fluid in the reservoir
is below the MIN mark, the vehicle
should be transported on a recovery
vehicle.
• Have the brake system checked
immediately. We recommend that
you contact an authorised Cadillac
workshop.
For safety reasons, stop the car and check
the level of the brake fluid, see page 184.
If the level is normal, depress the brake
pedal firmly two or three times. Now check
the level again. If the level is still normal, you
may drive the car with considerable caution
to the nearest workshop to have the brake
system checked. We recommend that you
contact an authorised Cadillac workshop.
The brake system provides Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). This distributes
the brake pressure between the front
and rear wheels, in such a way as to achieve
optimum braking performance irrespective
of the car’s load.
