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.

Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
Light

If available, this light comes on
briefly while starting the vehicle.

If it does not come on, have the
vehicle serviced.

This light is green if LKA is available
to assist.

LKA may assist by gently turning
the steering wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking
without using the turn signal in that
direction. The LKA light will turn
amber.

This light is amber and flashes as a
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
alert, to indicate that the lane
marking has been crossed.
