■Reasons for the indicator to come on
• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine
speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and

the gears.
If the brake system indicator and ABS indicator come
on simultaneously, the elec tronic brake distribution
