NOTE●
In certain cases immediately after the engine has been started or when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, a noise gen- erated by operation of brake devices may beheard coming from
the engine compart-
ment. This type of noise is normal and there is no need for concer
n. In fact, it indicates
that the corresponding devices are operating normally.
●
The brake system uses
brake fluid pressu-
rized by the pump. Please refer to “Braking” on page 4-56.
CAUTION
!●
In the situations listed below, brake performance may be compromised orthe vehicle may become unstable if brakes are applied suddenly; conse- quently, avoid driving at high speedsor applying the brakes suddenly. Fur- thermore, the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a safe location andto have it checked.• The brake warning lamp does notilluminate when the parking brake is applied or does not turn off when the parking brake is released.• The brake warning lamp remains illuminated during driving. • The brake warning buzzer does notturn off.
●
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance has deteriorated.• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual. Even if the brake pedal moves downto the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard. • Should the brakes fail, use enginebraking to reduce your speed and pull the parking brake lever. Depress the brake pedal to operate the stop lamp to

Check engine warning lamp
E00502600093
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys- tem which monitors the emissions, engine and automatic transmission control systems. If a problem is detected
in one of these systems,
this lamp illuminates. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to havethe system checked as soon as possible. This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”position. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
NOTE●
The engine electr
onic control module
accommodating the onboard diagnostic sys- tem has various fault data (especially about the exhaust emission) stored.This data will be erased
if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a batterycable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
CAUTION
!●
Prolonged driving with this lamp on may cause further damage to the emis- sion control system.
It could also affect
fuel economy and drivability.
●
If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, we recommend you to have the system checked.
●
If the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds and we recommend you to have the system checked.Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these conditions.

vel in the engine.
This must be determined by checking the oil level on the

inates when the
engine oil level is not low, have itinspected.
●
If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illu-minated, engine seizure may occur.
