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 This light should come on briefly

Have the brake system inspected
right away.
If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
The brake system has electric brake
boost. Vehicle speed may be limited
when the brake system warning light
comes on. The brake pedal might be

Service Electric Parking
Brake Light
This light should come on briefly
when the vehicle is turned on. If it
does not come on, have it fixed so it
will be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
If this light stays on or comes on
while driving, there is a problem with
the Electric Parking Brake (EPB). Take
the vehicle to a dealer as soon as
possible. In addition to the parking
brake, other safety functions that
utilize the EPB may also be degraded.
A message may also display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See

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.

brake system warning light are on,
ABS is not functioning and there is a
problem with the regular brakes. See
your dealer for service.
