This light may illuminate if the fuel filler cap is not closed tightly or if the engine was runningwhile the vehicle was refueled.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standardbraking system will still function). Check thesystem by:
