WARNING LIGHTS AND 
MESSAGES
The  warning/indicator  lights  will  illuminate
in the instrument panel together with a dedi-
cated  message  and/or  acoustic  signal  when
applicable.  These  indications  are  indicative
and  precautionary  and  as  such  must  not  be
considered  as  exhaustive  and/or  alternative
to  the  information  contained  in  the  Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read care -
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa -
tion  in  this  chapter  in  the  event  of  a failure
indication.  All  active  telltales  will  display
first  if  applicable.  The  system  check  menu
may appear different based upon equipment
options  and  current  vehicle  status.  Some
telltales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
 — Air Bag Warning Light 
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
a  fault with  the air  bag, and  will turn  on for
four to  eight  seconds  as  a bulb  check  when
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/
ON/RUN  position.  This  light  will  illuminate
with a single chime when a fault with the air
bag  has  been  detected,  it  will  stay  on  until the fault is cleared. If the light is either  not
on during startup, stays on, or turns on while
driving,  have  the  system  inspected  at  an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
 — Brake Warning Light 
This  warning  light  monitors  various  brake
functions,  including  brake  fluid  level  and
parking  brake  application.  If the brake  light
turns  on  it  may  indicate  that  the  parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is
low,  or  that  there  is  a  problem  with  the
anti-lock brake system.
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.
 WARNING!
Driving  a  vehicle  with  the  red  brake  light
on  is  dangerous.  Part  of  the  brake  system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop
the  vehicle.  You  could  have  a  collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
