functioning and service is required. However, the con-

ventional brake system will continue to operate normally

if the BRAKE warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced

as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock

Brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the

ignition switch is placed in the ON/RUN position, have

the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
24. Low Fuel Light

This light will turn on and a single chime will

sound when the fuel level drops to 1/8 tank.

25. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of

an onboard diagnostic system called OBD. The

OBD system monitors engine and automatic

transmission control systems. The MIL will turn on when

the ignition is in the ON/RUN position before engine

start. If the MIL does not come on when turning the key

from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked

promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap,

poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after

engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the MIL

stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In

most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will

not require towing.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect fuel economy and
drivability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur.
Immediate service is required.
