NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp

cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level condi-

tions. The vehicle should have service performed, and

the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces-

sary.

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 posi-

tion.
NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
14. Fuel Gauge/Fuel Door Reminder

The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle

where the fuel door is located. The pointer shows the

level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in

the ON/RUN position.
