Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
.
In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light
.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is re-
quired
.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from
the STOP position to the MAR position
.
The light should illuminate for approximately two
seconds
.
The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault
is detected
.
If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized
dealer
.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the MAR position
.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied
.
It does not show the degree of
brake application
.
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
.
— Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc
.
, may illumi-
nate the MIL after engine start
.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles
.
In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and
not require towing
.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage
.
We recommend you
do not operate the vehicle
.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately
.
— Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the MAR position
.
If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected in the ESC system
.
If this light remains on, see your au-
thorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected
.
