cliffcoggin Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM Rebecca. It is probably a false warning, nevertheless it is necessary to have it investigated. Have you noticed any reduction of braking effect when the warning shows? However even if there is a total failure of the servo assistance the brakes will still work, though it must be stressed that the pedal will need a great deal more force than normal. So much more in fact that you may need to use both feet on the pedal to get a good braking effect. Only you can judge if you are capable of responding quickly enough and powerfully enough in the event of sudden servo failure to continue driving safely.
