Two quick questions 1. Yesterday the BRAKE light came on in may car. I looked in the manual to see what it ment, but I couldn't find it. I was just wondering what it could mean and how serious it is.
2. Ever since I baught my car, three weeks ago, at night the lights would turn on automaticaly and they would turn off during the day. But last night when I turned my car on the lights didn't go on and I had to turn them on manualy. I was wondering if there was a way to get the lights to go on automaticaly again. Thanks in advance!

1.The e-brake lighte or the abs light? if its the e-brake light then either your e-brake is on or the little electric sensor is stuck, if its abs then its most likely something minor like new brake pads, sometimes the light comes on when it feels the brakes slipping too much.
2. Well our cars are supposed to have automatic lights, and there is a turtorial somewhere on how to make them manual, if this really bothers you i suggest searching for the tutorial and maybe you can figure out how to reverse the process.

sometimes when the e-brake(sets off the red BRAKE lite) is engaged even a little, it doesn't make the headlights automatically come on. the brake only has to be up a tiny bit. it took me a bit to figure that out on my SS
