Brake system warning
²Standard instrument cluster
²Optional instrument cluster
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
to ensure the circuit is functional.
Also illuminates if the parking brake
is engaged. If brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times,
seek service immediately. Illumination after releasing the parking brake
indicates low brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected
immediately.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (If equipped)
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
to ensure the circuit is functional. If
the light does not illuminate
momentarily at start up, remains on
or continues to flash, the ABS needs to be serviced. With the ABS light
on, the anti-lock brake system is disabled and normal braking is still
effective unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated with the
parking brake released.
Turn signal
Illuminates when the left or right
turn signal or the hazard lights are
turned on. If one or both of the
indicators stay on continuously or
flash faster, check for a burned-out
turn signal bulb. Refer toBulbsin theMaintenance and carechapter.
High beams
Illuminates when the high beam
headlamps are turned on.
