Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) Failure•What Does It Mean
The simultaneous firing of BRAKE lights
(Red) and
(Amber) with the engine
running indicates a failure of the Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
system or that the system is not available.
In this case, with heavy braking, the rear
wheels may lock early and increase the
possibility of skidding.
The dedicated message will appear on the
display.
• What To Do
Drive with extreme caution, immediately
reach the nearest authorized dealer for the verifica-
tion of the system. Air Bag
•What Does It Mean
By placing the ignition switch in MAR/
RUN, the indicator light illuminates but
should go out after a few seconds. If the
indicator illuminates, this indicates a fail-
ure of the air bag system.
The dedicated message shows in the display.
For more details, refer to Occupant Restraint Sys-
tems inSafety for more information.

•What To Do
In the case of normal gear: stop the car, shut off the
engine, and check that the level of coolant inside the
tank is not below the minimum (MIN). In this case,
wait for the engine to cool, then slowly and carefully
open the cap, fill with coolant, make sure it is
between the MIN and MAX marks. Also, check for
coolant leaks. If at the next start-up, the light (or the
icon on the display) would once again illuminate,
contact an authorized dealer.
In the case of heavy use of the car (e.g. In terms of
performance): slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. For two or three minutes, keep the
engine running and slightly accelerate to help the
flow of coolant in the system. Then, turn the engine
off. Check for the correct level of coolant as described
above. Electric Park Brake Failure
•What Does It Mean
By placing the ignition in the MAR/RUN
position, the light (If Equipped) will illumi-
nate but should go out after a few seconds.
The light comes on when it detects a failure
in Electric Parking Brake.
The display shows the dedicated message.
• What To Do
Please contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE: In this case, with heavy braking, the rear wheels
may lock early and increase the possibility of skidding.

Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) System Failure•What Does It Mean
By placing the ignition in the MAR/RUN
position, the indicator light illuminates but
should go out after a few seconds.
The light will remain on until the ABS
condition has been corrected. If the prob-
lem 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 display shows the dedicated message.
• What To Do
Please contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. TPMS Failure
•What Does It Mean
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size 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 pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced Electronic
Brake Control system (EBC). This system includes Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill Start
Assist (HSA), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)
and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM). These systems
work together to enhance both vehicle stability and
control in various driving conditions.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
This function manages the distribution of the braking
torque between the front and rear axles by limiting
braking pressure to the rear axle. This is done to prevent
overslip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle instability,
and to prevent the rear axle from entering ABS before the
front axle.
Brake System Warning Light
The red “Brake System Warning Light” will turn on when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may
stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the “Brake System Warning Light” remains on or
comes on while driving, it indicates that the brake system
is not functioning properly and that immediate service is
required. If the “Brake System Warning Light” does not
come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position, have the light repaired as soon as possible.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased
vehicle stability and brake performance under most
braking conditions. The system automatically prevents
wheel lock, and enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to ensure that the
ABS is working properly each time the vehicle is started
198 SAFETY

and driven. During this self-check you may hear a slight
clicking sound as well as some related motor noises.
ABS is activated during braking when the system detects
one or more wheels begins to lock. Road conditions such
as ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris,
or panic stops may increase the likelihood of ABS activa-
tion(s).
You also may experience the following when ABS acti-
vates:
•The ABS motor noise (it may continue to run for a
short time after the stop).
• The clicking sound of solenoid valves.
• Brake pedal pulsations.
• A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end of the stop.
These are all normal characteristics of ABS.WARNING!
• The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equip-
ment that may be susceptible to interference
caused by improperly installed or high output
radio transmitting equipment. This interference
can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capa-
bility. Installation of such equipment should be
performed by qualified professionals.
• Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish
their effectiveness and may lead to a collision.
Pumping makes the stopping distance longer. Just
press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to
slow down or stop.
• The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys-
ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded
by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or
the traction afforded.

SAFETY 199

WARNING!(Continued)
•The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning.
• The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must
never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner that could jeopardize the user ’s safety or
the safety of others.
ABS is designed to function with the OEM tires. Modifi-
cation may result in degraded ABS performance.
Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light
The amber “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” will turn on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position
and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” remains on or
comes on while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock
portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if the “Brake
System Warning Light” is not on.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on, the brake
system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore
the benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “Anti-Lock Brake
Warning Light” does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position, have the light
repaired as soon as possible.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking
capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The
system detects an emergency braking situation by sens-
ing the rate and amount of brake application and then
applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help
reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the
anti-lock brake system (ABS). Applying the brakes very
quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To receive the
