CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature Warning Light illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission damage or transmission failure.
— Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to MAR/RUN, this light will turn on if the driver’s
seat belt is unbuckled, and a chime will sound. When driving, if the driver’s seat belt re-
mains unbuckled, the Sea t Belt Reminder Light will illuminate, and the chime will sound.
Please have your vehicle serviced immediately should the Seat Belt Reminder Light remain on.
— Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. 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 sys-
tem 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 detected 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 applying t he brake, and a brake pedal
pulsation may be fel t 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 moment arily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
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.
