times when you turn the ignition
switch from the ON (II) position to
the ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0)
position.

comes on while driving, there
could be a problem with the brake
system. For more information, see
page . This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, and when the ignition
switch is turned to the START (III)
position. If it comes on at any other
time, there is a problem with the
ABS. If this happens, have your
ve
hicle checked at a dealer. With the
indicator on, your vehicle still has
norm al braking ability but no anti-
lock brakes. For more info rmation,
