When you start your car for a trip, the red brake warning light stays on, and the brake pedal feels softer than usual. What should you do?
A dark dashboard detail displays a red BRAKE warning. The card states that the car has just been started and the brake pedal feels softer than usual; a caption says the warning stays on.
Correct answer: Have the brakes checked and repaired before you drive the car anywhere
Why
Utah law sets a test for the service brakes: they must stop the vehicle within 40 feet from 20 mph on a dry, level road. If your brakes fail while you drive, apply the parking brake slowly and be ready to release it if the car starts to skid. Then look for a safe place to stop well off the road.
