position. Also illuminates if the
parking brake is engaged. If the
brake warning lamp does not
illuminate at these times, or remains on after releasing the parking brake,
seek service immediately.

One of the following conditions may exist:
• low brake fluid level in the reservoir.
• Brake force distribution system failure. The ABS light will also

illuminate if this condition is present.

Engine oil pressure

Momentarily illuminates when the

soon as safely possible and switch off the engine immediately. Check the
oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance
and care
chapter.

turned to the ON position and the
engine is off. The light also
illuminates when the battery is not
charging properly, requiring

or remains on, have the system
serviced immediately.
