As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes
If you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge, after the
engine has been started by using jumper cables, the engine may

light to blink on and off. This is only due to the low battery
voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap-

operating properly.
