If the word ON, or the on symbol, is lit on
the passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag are allowed
to inflate.
If the word OFF, or the off symbol is lit, on
the airbag status indicator, it means that
the passenger sensing system has turned off
the front outboard passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there are no
lights at all, there may be a problem with
the lights or the passenger sensing system.

Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running, as a check to show
the light is working. The light turns off
when the engine is started. If it does not,
have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the light stays on, or comes on while
driving, there may be a problem with the
electrical charging system. Have it checked
by your dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.

malfunction has been detected and the
vehicle may require service. The light should
come on to show that it is working when
the ignition is in Service Mode. See
Ignition
Positions (Key Access) 0191 or
Ignition Positions (Keyless Access) 0192.
Malfunctions are often indicated by the
system before any problem is noticeable.
Being aware of the light and seeking service
promptly when it comes on may prevent
damage.

.The light does not come on when the
ignition is in Service Mode.
.Critical emission control systems have not
been completely diagnosed. If this
happens, the vehicle would not be ready
for inspection and might require
several days of routine driving before the
system is ready for inspection. This can
happen if the 12-volt battery has recently
been replaced or run down, or if the
vehicle has been recently serviced.
See your dealer if the vehicle will not pass
or cannot be made ready for the test.
Brake System Warning Light
MetricEnglish
The vehicle brake system consists of
electronically controlled hydraulic brake
circuits. If a fault is detected, valves are
adjusted to allow the brake pedal to push
brake fluid directly into the hydraulic brake
circuits. When a fault occurs, the brake system
warning light comes on, and Driver
Information Center (DIC) messages may
display.
Vehicle speed may also be limited and the
amount of brake pedal force applied may
need to increase. Have the vehicle brake
system serviced as soon as possible.
This light should come on briefly when the
engine is started. If it does not come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn if there is a problem.
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. See
Brake Fluid
0 260. 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. The pedal might
be harder to push, or the 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
0 304.
{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

Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
This light comes on briefly when the engine
is started.
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, stop as
soon as it is safely possible and turn off the
vehicle. Then start the engine again to reset
the system. If the ABS light stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the vehicle
needs service. A chime may also sound
when the light comes on steady.
If the ABS light is the only light on, the
vehicle has regular brakes, but the antilock
brakes are not functioning. If both the ABS and the brake system
warning light are on, the vehicle's antilock
brakes are not functioning and there is a
problem with the regular brakes. See your
dealer for service.
