Inst rument s and Cont rols

If the  ABS  indicator  comes on with
the  brake  system  indicator,  have
your  vehicle  inspected  by your
dealer  immediately.
However, 
if the  brake  pedal  does not
feel  normal,  you should  take
immediate  action. A problem  in one
part  of the  system’s  dual circuit
design  will still  give  you braking  at
two  wheels.  You will feel  the brake
pedal  go down  much  farther  before
the  vehicle  begins to slow  down,  and
you  will have  to press  harder  on the
pedal.
Slow  down  by shifting  to a lower
gear,  and pull  to the  side  of the  road
when  it is  safe.  Because  of the  long
distance  needed to stop,  it is
hazardous  to drive  the vehicle.  You
should  have it to wed  and repaired  as
soon  as possible  (see
on  page  ).
If  you  must  drive  the vehicle  a short
distance  in this  condition,  drive
slowly  and carefully.
The 
brake  system
indicator  normally
comes  on when
you  turn  the ignition  switch to the
ON  (II) position  and as a reminder  to
check  the parking  brake. It will  stay
on  if you  do not  fully  release  the
parking  brake.
If  the  brake  system  indicator  comes
on  while  driving,  the brake  fluid  level
is  probably  low. Press  lightly  on the
brake  pedal to see  if it feels  normal.
If  it does,  check  the brake  fluid level
thenexttimeyoustopataservice
station (see page ).
If the f luid level is low, take your
vehicle to a dealer, and have the
brake system inspected f or leaks or
worn brake pads. If the regenerate brake system
indicator (amber) comes on with the
parking brake system indicator (red)
with the parking brake released,
there may be a malfunction with the
power-assist f eature. When the
power-assist f eature malf unctions,
the brake indicator (red) comes on
and a buzzer sounds f or a second.
The power-assist f eature may stop
when the brake ef f ect is weak. Stop
your vehicle immediately at a saf e
place and contact a dealer.
