Brake system warning light:
To confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is
turned to the ON position when the engine is not running, or in a
position between ON and START, or by applying the parking brake when
the ignition is turned to the ON position.

If the brake system warning light
does not illuminate at this time,
seek service immediately from your
dealership. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low
brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately
by your servicing dealership.
Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is
dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may
occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle
checked by your dealer immediately.
Anti-lock brake system:
If the
ABS light stays illuminated or
continues to flash, a malfunction has
been detected, have the system
serviced immediately. Normal
braking is still functional unless the brake warning light also is
illuminated.
Air bag readiness:
If this light fails
to illuminate when ignition is turned
to ON, continues to flash or remains
on, have the system serviced
