Check battery voltage it should be at least 12v. If not you will have to charge it/get it charged. You could also jumper the battery to start car and then check volatge again. It should be 14+ volts. If 12v or less alterantor is not charging. Remove it and get it tested. Check brake fluid reservoir for proper fluid level. Check emergency brake is completely released.
