RED WARNING LIGHTS
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault with the air bag, and will
turn on for four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This light
will illuminate with a single chime when a fault
with the air bag has been detected, it will stay on
until the fault is cleared. If the light is either not on
during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Brake Warning Light
This warning 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
capacity 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.

NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
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 approximately 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.
Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
When the ignition is first placed in the
ON/RUN position, if the driver’s seat
belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound
and the light will turn on. When driving,
if the driver or front passenger seat belt remains
unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will flash
or remain on continuously and a chime will sound

Ú
page 144.
WARNING!
If the warning light does not turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position or if
it stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), there might be a
malfunction in the restraint systems; This
could mean the air bags or pretensioners
may not deploy in the event of an accident or,
they could deploy erroneously. This could
result in serious injuries or death. Have the
vehicle checked by qualified technician
immediately.
Driving a vehicle with a red brake warning
light on is dangerous. Part of the brake
system may have failed. It will take longer to
stop the vehicle in such circumstances. This
could result in a collision and serious injuries
or death. Have the vehicle checked by a
qualified technician immediately.
