• Automatic
transaxle warning light
Automatic transaxle malfunction;

• Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS)*
ABS malfunction, normal brakes
only; dealer inspection required
When brake pedal is pressed,
ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing
of the brake pedal and hear a
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal
for maximum braking
Tips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes
