Indicator Lights
Seat Belt Reminder Light
This indicator lights when you turn
the ignition ON (II). It is a reminder
to you and your passenger to protect
yourselves by fastening the seat
belts. A beeper also sounds if you
have not fastened your seat belt.
If you do not fasten your seat belt,
the beeper will stop after a few
seconds but the light stays on until
you do. Both the light and the beeper
stay off if you fasten your seat belt
before turning on the ignition.

Parking Brake
and Brake
System
Indicator
This light has two functions:
1. It lights as a reminder that you
have not released the parking
brake. Driving with the parking
brake applied can damage the
brakes and tires, and cause the
Anti-lock brake system to turn off
(see page
111
).
2. If it remains lit after you release
the parking brake, or comes on
while driving, it can indicate that
the brake fluid level is low. This is
normally due to worn brake pads.
Have your dealer check the
braking system for worn pads or
fluid leaks.
