Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light

United States

Canada

With the anti

-

lock brake system, the light will come on

when your engine is started and may stay on for several
three seconds. That’s normal.

If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti

-

lock

brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti

-

lock brakes and there’s a

problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System
Warning Light” earlier in this section.

The anti

-

lock brake system warning light should come

on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.

Enhanced Traction System Warning Light

With the Enhanced Traction
System (ETS), this warning
light should come on briefly
as you start the engine.

If the warning light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.

If the warning light stays on, or comes on when you’re
driving, there may be a problem with your Enhanced
Traction System and your vehicle may need service.
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
