Pull the lever toward you to the first detent to activate and release quickly to deactivate.

The ABS warning lamp will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned on. If the light stays on, flashes or doesn’t illuminate, have your vehicle serviced. In an emergency, apply continuous force to the brake pedal. Do not pump the brakes. Any pulsation or mechanical noise you may feel or hear is normal.
4 SERVICE ENGINE SOON LAMPThe Service Engine Soon indicator lamp illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position. If the lamp stays on or blinks, the On Board Diagnostics System has detected a malfunction. Drive moderately (avoid heavy acceleration or deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.
