WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the
instrument panel together with a dedicated mes-
sage and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These
indications are indicative and precautionary and as
such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the
Owner’s Manual, which you are advised to read
carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information
in this chapter in the event of a failure indication. All
active telltales will display first if applicable. The
system check menu may appear different based
upon equipment options and current vehicle status.
Some telltales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
— Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate a fault
with the air bag, and will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This
light will illuminate with a single chime when a fault
with the air bag has been detected, it will stay on
until the fault is cleared. If the light is either not on
during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the system inspected at an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
— Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
This warning light indicates when the driver or pas-
senger seat belt is unbuckled. When the ignition is
first placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN
position and if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a
chime will sound and the light will turn on. When
driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt
remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will flash or remain on continuously and a chime will
sound.
Refer to “Occupant Restraint Systems” in “Safety”
for further information.
— Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake appli-
cation. If the brake light turns on it may indicate that
the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid
level is low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has
been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full
mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a
possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that
a problem with the Brake Booster has been de-
tected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) /
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condition has
been corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when apply-
ing the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking
capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the
hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual
brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning
Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in
the master cylinder has dropped below a specified
level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp cor-
nering maneuvers, which change fluid level condi-
tions. The vehicle should have ser vice performed,
and the brake fluid level checked.
