WARNING
If the 4WD mode indicator (see “Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) warning light (4WD model)” later in this
section) is OFF or the ATP warning light is ON,
this indicates that the automatic transmission P
(Park) position will not function and could result
in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, causing seri-
ous personal injury or property damage. Always
set the parking brake. Brake warning light
WARNING
• If the brake fluid level is below the minimum
mark on the brake fluid reservoir, do not drive
the vehicle until the brake system has been
checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
• Even if you judge it to be safe, have your ve-
hicle towed because driving it could be dan-
gerous.
• Depressing the brake pedal without the en-
gine running and/or with
alow brake fluid
level could increase the stopping distance and
require greater pedal travel distance and ef-
fort.
The brake warning light indicates the parking brake
system operation, alow brake fluid level of the brake
system and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) mal-
function. Parking brake warning indicator:
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the brake warning light illuminates. When the
engine is started and the parking brake is released,
the brake warning light turns off.
If the parking brake is not fully released, the brake
warning light remains on. Be sure that the brake
warning light has turned off before driving. (See
“Parking brake” in the “3. Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.)
Low brake fluid warning indicator:
If the brake warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, and the parking
brake is released, it may indicate the brake fluid
level is low.
When the brake warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the brake fluid level. If
the brake fluid level is at the minimum mark, add
brake fluid as necessary. (See “Brake fluid” in the
“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.)
If the brake fluid level is sufficient, have the brake
system checked by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator (where fitted):
When the parking brake is released and the brake
fluid level is sufficient, if both the brake warning light
and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminate, it may indicate the ABS is not func-
tioning properly. Have the brake system checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop promptly. (See “Brake system”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section.) Charge warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
charge warning light illuminates. After starting the
engine, the charge warning light turns off. This indi-
cates that the charging system is operational.
If the charge warning light illuminates while the en-
gine is running, or while driving, it may indicate that
the charging system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing.
When the charge warning light illuminates while driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Stop the engine and check the alternator belt. If the
alternator belt is loose, broken or missing, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
(See “Drive belt” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.)
If the alternator belt appears to be functioning cor-
rectly but the charge warning light remains illumi-
nated, have the charging system checked by an
approved dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving if the alternator belt is
loose, broken or missing.
