11. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned to ON/

RUN, this light will turn on for four to eight

seconds 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

Reminder Light will illuminate and the chime will sound.

Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know

Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.
12. Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions,

including brake fluid level and parking brake

application. If the brake light turns on it may

indicate that the parking brake is applied, that

the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with

the anti-lock brake system reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been

disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the

master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake

hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the

Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake

System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

In this case, the light will remain on until the condition

has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake

booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake

and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-

ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic

system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is

indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on

when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has

dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
