Indicator, Coming On/Blinking If the Brake System Indicator Comes On If the EPS Indicator Comes On
If the Brake System Indicator Comes On
■Reasons for the Indicator to Come On
The brake fluid is low.

•
There is a malfunction in the brake system.

•
What to Do When the Indicator Comes On While Driving
■
Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure.
If normal, check the brake fluid level the next time you stop.

•
If abnormal, take immediate action. If necessary, downshift the

•
transmission to slow the vehicle using engine braking.
If the EPS Indicator Comes On
■Reasons for the Indicator to Come On
Comes on when there is a problem with EPS.

•
If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the

•
engine speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
What to Do When the Indicator Comes On
■
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.

• If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
U.S.
Canada If the Brake System Indicator Comes On
Have your vehicle repaired immediately. It is dangerous to drive with low brake luid. If there is no resistance from the brake pedal, stop immediately in a safe place. If necessary downshift the gears. If the brake system indicator and ABS indicator come on simultaneously, the brake distribution system is not working. This can result in vehicle instability under sudden braking. Have your vehicle inspected by a dealer immediately.
If the EPS Indicator Comes On
NOTICE If the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or at an extremely low speed, or you hold the steering wheel on the full left or right position for a while, the system heats up. The system goes into a protective mode, and limits its performance. The steering wheel becomes harder and harder to operate. Once the system cools down, EPS is restored. Repeated operation under these conditions can eventually result in a damage to the system.

■
The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel Lift Equipment
■
The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle. Emergency Towing
NOTICE Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.
NOTICE Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission. Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous, since ropes or chains may shift from side to side or break.
