Brake system warning
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
and the engine is off. If the brake
warning lamp does not illuminate at
this time, seek service immediately.

releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake
system should be inspected immediately.

Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned on and the engine
is off. If the light stays on, the ABS
needs to be serviced. With the ABS

is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning
light also remains illuminated with parking brake released.

Operating tips
²In humid weather, selectbefore driving. This will help to prevent
your windshield from fogging. After a few minutes, select any desired
position.
²To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
²Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
²When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to
not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block
airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also,
avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These
objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and
possibly damage your climate control system.

²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield).
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.

not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block
airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also,
