This manual was prepared to acquaint you with the operation and
maintenance of your

your vehicle best and is interested
in your complete satisfaction. Your dealer
invites you to return for all of your service needs both during and after the

in the switch show you which setting you are in. Both
indicator lights will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition. If both
lights do

vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s
a problem with your vehicle.
When
one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when
one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow the manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.
Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working,
the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking,
though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come
on as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If
the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle’’
in the Index.)

Page 123 of 348
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The brake system warning light will also come on when you set your
parking brake, and it will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake
is fully released, it means you have a
brake problem.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
ANTI -
LOCK
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay on for several seconds. That’s normal.
If the light doesn’t come on,
have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on, or comes
on when 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
part.
