D
The warning light remains on after the engine has been
started, but it goes out when the vehicle speed reaches about 8
mph (12 km/h).
D
The warning light comes on during driving, but it goes out
immediately and remains off.
When driving with an insufficient battery voltage such as when the en-
gine is jump started, the ABS warning light may come on. This is due
to the low battery voltage and does not indicate a malfunction. When
the battery becomes fully charged, the light will go out.
Parking your vehicle
WARNING
D
Never leave unattended children or pets in the vehicle. They
could accidentally injure themselves or others through inadver-
tent operation of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, the tem-
perature in a closed vehicle could quickly become high enough
to cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to them.
D
Do not park the vehicle over flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags, as they may burn easily if they come
near hot engine or exhaust system parts.
D
Always stop the engine if you take a nap in the vehicle. If en-
gine exhaust gas enters the passenger compartment, occupants
in the vehicle could die from carbon monoxide (CO) contained in
the exhaust gas.
CAUTION
Never drive while the parking brake is set because this will cause
unnecessary wear on the brake linings. Before starting to drive,
always make sure that the parking brake has been fully released.
To set the parking brake, press the brake pedal firmly and hold it down
while fully pulling up the parking brake lever.
