ABS warning light

Amber letters ABS inside a circle Your ordinary brakes should still work, as long as the red brake warning light is off. What you have lost is the anti-lock function that keeps the wheels from locking and skidding in a hard stop, so you may not be able to steer around something while braking hard. You can keep driving, but leave more following distance, brake early and gently on wet or icy roads, and book a repair soon. If the red brake light comes on at the same time, treat it as a brake system failure and follow the advice for that light.
