If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You
could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked
immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) are also equipped with Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD
failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along
with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS
system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two seconds.
The light should then turn off unless the parking
brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the
light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by
an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is ap-
plied. It does not show the degree of brake applica-
tion.
— Battery Charge Warning Light
This warning light illuminates when the 12 volt bat-
tery is not charging properly. If it stays on while the
vehicle is running, there may be a malfunction with
the charging system. Contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the electrical
system or a related component.
— Engine Coolant Temperature Warn-
ing Light
This warning light warns of an overheated engine
condition. If the engine coolant temperature is too
high, this indicator will illuminate and a single chime
will sound. If the temperature reaches the upper
limit, a continuous chime will sound for four minutes
or until the engine is able to cool: whichever comes
first.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over
and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it
off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not
return to normal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “In Case Of
Emergency” for further information.
— Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate a prob-
lem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
system. If a problem is detected while the vehicle is
running, the light will either stay on or flash depend-
ing on the nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition
when the vehicle is safely and completely stopped
and the transmission is placed in the PARK position.
The light should turn off. If the light remains on with
the vehicle running, your vehicle will usually be
drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for ser-
vice as soon as possible.
NOTE:
This light may turn on if the accelerator and brake
pedals are pressed at the same time.
