WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed.
It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have
a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force
Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the
Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS
Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by
turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the
ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for ap-
proximately two seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.

The light also will turn on when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

19. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned to ON/
RUN, this light will turn on for four to eight sec-
onds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the

driver or front passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime
will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Re-
minder Light will illuminate and the chime will sound.
Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know
Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.
