 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.
WARNING!

placard or tire inflation pressure label. If your 
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size 
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as 
referenced above, can reach higher 
temperatures than in normal operating 
conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive 
slowly or park over flammable substances 
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This 
could result in death or serious injury to the 
driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction 
Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause damage 
to the vehicle control system. It also could 
affect fuel economy and driveability. If the 
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter 
damage and power loss will soon occur. 
Immediate service is required.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat 
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop 
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and 
steering. If a tire puncture occurs, repair

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL147
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation 
pressure label, you should determine the 
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has 
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring 
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire 
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is 
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when 
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you 
should stop and check your tires as soon as 
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. 
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire 
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire 
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel 
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the 
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for 
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s 
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, 
even if under-inflation has not reached the level 
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire 
pressure telltale.
 Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS 
malfunction indicator to indicate when the 
system is not operating properly. The TPMS 
malfunction indicator is combined with the low 
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a 
malfunction, the telltale will flash for 
approximately one minute and then remain 
continuously illuminated. This sequence will 
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as 
long as the malfunction exists. When the 
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system 
may not be able to detect or signal low tire 
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may 
occur for a variety of reasons, including the 
installation of replacement or alternate tires or 
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from 
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS 
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more 
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the 
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow 
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Yellow Indicator Lights
Forward Collision Warning Off Indicator Light 
— If Equipped
 This indicator light illuminates to 
indicate that Forward Collision 
Warning is off.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original 
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures 
and warning have been established for the tire 
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable 
system operation or sensor damage may result 
when using replacement equipment that is not 
of the same size, type, and/or style. 
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. 
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
sensor to become inoperable. After using an 
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended 
that you take your vehicle to an authorized 
dealer to have your sensor function checked.
