manufacturer ’s instruction about the ap-
plicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.
With the child restraint system installed,
check that your driving position is satis-

The light will come on when the ignition
key turned to “ON”, and will go off after
a few seconds.
It is not a malfunction that the warning
light may stay on for 60 seconds after the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” position.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the lights. It is normal if they
go out after a few seconds.

TRAC” warning light comes on when the
brake actuator temperature becomes high.

above mentioned systems do not work.

tion key is turned to the “ON” position.

this indicates a malfunction somewhere in
the parts monitored by the warning light

tion, or the light remains on.
