If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master
cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible
brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a
problem with the Brake Booster has been
detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on
until the condition has been corrected. If the
problem is related to the brake booster, the
ABS pump will run when applying the brake,
and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt
during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in
either half of the dual brake system is indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci -
fied level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during
sharp cornering maneuvers, which change
fluid level conditions. The vehicle should
have service performed, and the brake fluid
level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate
repair is necessary.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec
-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is
required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN position.
The light should illuminate for approximately
four seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illumi -
nate, have the light inspected by an autho -
rized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position. NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake
is applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.
Battery Charge Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate
when the battery is not charging
properly. If it stays on while the
engine is running, there may be a malfunc -
tion with the charging system. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the
electrical system or a related component.
Door Open Warning Light
This indicator will illuminate when a
door is ajar/open and not fully
closed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.

vehicle is running, immediate service is
required and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle, or
engine stall and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will come on when the igni
-
tion is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
Engine Temperature Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
warn of an overheated engine condi -
tion. If the engine coolant tempera -
ture is too high, this light will illuminate and
a single chime will sound.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system
is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the

SAFETY
SAFETY FEATURES
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides
increased vehicle stability and brake perfor-
mance under most braking conditions. The
system automatically prevents wheel lock,
and enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to
ensure that the ABS is working properly each
time the vehicle is started and driven. During
this self-check, you may hear a slight
clicking sound as well as some related motor
noises.
ABS is activated during braking when the
system detects one or more wheels begin to
lock. Road conditions such as ice, snow,
gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris,
or panic stops may increase the likelihood of
ABS activation(s).
You also may experience the following when
ABS activates:
The ABS motor noise (it may continue to
run for a short time after the stop)
The clicking sound of solenoid valves
Brake pedal pulsations
A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end
of the stop
These are all normal characteristics of ABS.
ABS is designed to function with the Original
Equipment Manufacturer’s tires. Modifica-
tion may result in degraded ABS perfor -
mance.
Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light
The yellow “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light”
will turn on when the ignition is turned to the
ON/RUN mode and may stay on for as long
as four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light”
remains on or comes on while driving, it indi -
cates that the anti-lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and that service is
required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if
the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on.
WARNING!
The ABS contains sophisticated elec-
tronic equipment that may be suscep -
tible to interference caused by
improperly installed or high output radio
transmitting equipment. This interfer -
ence can cause possible loss of anti-lock
braking capability. Installation of such
equipment should be performed by qual -
ified professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may
lead to a collision. Pumping makes the
stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase braking or steering effi -
ciency beyond that afforded by the
condition of the vehicle brakes and tires
or the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety
of others.
