The brake warning lamp will:
•
flash as stored hydraulic pressure is released.
•
remain illuminated once the pressure is completely released.
•
flash if the brake is applied.
To exit the Pad Service Mode:
1. Apply the brake pedal and turn the ignition OFF then ON. This will
cause brake pressure to be developed within the brake system. Once
brake pressure is developed, the brake warning light will turn off.
2. The Pad Service Mode will also be exited if the gear shift lever is
moved from the (P) Park position, the vehicle is moved (wheels rotate)
or the ignition is turned OFF.
Note:
The brake system on this vehicle can only be bled at a authorized
dealer.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
Checking electronically controlled continuously variable
transmission (eCVT)
Refer to your
scheduled maintenance information
chapter for
scheduled intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transaxle does not
consume fluid. It is designed to be filled for life. However, the fluid level
should be checked if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Automatic transmission fluid expands when warmed. To obtain an
accurate fluid check, drive the vehicle until it is warmed up
(approximately 20 miles [30 km]). If your vehicle has been
operated for an extended period at high speeds, in city traffic
during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be
turned off for about 30 minutes to allow fluid to cool before
checking.
1. Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 km) or until it reaches normal operating
temperature.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
