Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
This light comes on briefly when the vehicle
is turned on to show that the light is
working. 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 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.
SeeBrake System Warning Light 0107.

If equipped, this light will display when
Performance Algorithm Liftfoot (PAL) is
activated. See Driver Mode Control 0220.
Hill Descent Control Light
If equipped, the Hill Descent Control light
comes on when the system is ready for use.

lane marking has been unintentionally
crossed. If the system detects you are
steering intentionally (to pass or change
lanes), the LDW alert may not display.
