    I have noticed in about the last 30 days that occasionally my emergency
    brake light will flash on, and the bell will sound on harder than usual
    acceleration. This is not the ABS light. I intend to take it in for the
    Saftey Recall Notice soon, and wonder if there is something else I
    should have them check for me. Any ideas what may cause this?

    TIA - Lee Gillie, Spokane WA

    Top off the master cylinder, and have the brakes checked for wear

  4. That means your brake fluid is low. Either it's leaking, or your brake
    pads have worn down and the fluid's taking that space up, which will
    lower the fluid level in the master cylinder and trigger that light.

    You can add some fluid to make the light go away, but you really should
    get it looked at to see what the underlying problem really is.

    Thanks to all for replies.
    Fluid was not to ADD MARK, but is definitely below half way.
    Will have the dealer check my brakes while in for service.

    Best Regards - Lee
