Brake System Warning
Light
MetricEnglish
This light should come on briefly
when the vehicle is turned on. If it
does not come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there
is a problem.
If the light comes on and stays on at
start up, there is a brake problem.
Have the brake system inspected
right away.
The brake system warning light may
also come on when the parking brake
is set, if the vehicle has low brake
fluid, or if the brakes are severely
faded. If the brakes are overheated,
DIC messages may display, and the
vehicle speed may be limited. If the
brake fluid is not low, if the brakes are
not overheated, and if the parking
brake is fully released, then the vehicle has a brake problem. Have the
vehicle brake system serviced as soon
as possible.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
If equipped with electric brake boost,
vehicle speed may be limited when
the brake system warning light comes
on. The brake pedal might be harder
to push, or the brake pedal may go
closer to the floor. It could take longer
to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. See
Towing
the Vehicle 0346.
{Warning
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light
on can lead to a crash. If the light is
still on after the vehicle has been
pulled off the road and carefully
stopped, have the vehicle towed for
service.
Electric Parking Brake
Light
MetricEnglish
This light comes on when the parking
brake is applied. If the light continues
flashing after the parking brake is
released, or while driving, there is a
problem with the Electric Parking
Brake system. A message may also
display in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
If the light does not come on,
or remains flashing, see your dealer.

Service Electric Parking
Brake Light
On some vehicles the service electric
parking brake light should come on
briefly when the vehicle is started.

Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This warning light should come on
briefly when the vehicle is turned on.
If the light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
safely stop as soon as it is possible
and turn off the vehicle. Then turn on
the vehicle again to reset the system.
If the ABS warning light stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the
vehicle needs service. A chime may
also sound when the light stays on.
If the ABS warning light is the only
light on, the vehicle has regular
brakes, but ABS is not functioning. If both the ABS warning light and the
brake system warning light are on,
ABS is not functioning and there is a
problem with the regular brakes. See
your dealer for service.

focused out toward the front of the
vehicle.
Caution
If you try to use the HUD image as
a parking aid, you may misjudge
the distance and damage your
