Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake Sys tem (ABS) are also equipped with Elec-
tronic 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 re-
quired.
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 applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.
— Electronic Park Brake Failure Indicator
By placing the ignition in MAR position, the light turns on but should go out after a few
seconds. The light comes on when it detects a failure in electric parking brake. The display
shows the message dedicated. Please contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE:
In this case, with heavy braking the rear wheels may lock early and increase the possibility
of skidding.
— Malfunction Warning Light
The vehicle Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic
System called OBD II that monitors emissions control systems. The light will illuminate
when the ignition is in the ON position before vehicle start up. If the bulb does not
come on when placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, have the condition checked
promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illumi-
nate the light after vehicle start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and
will not require towing.
When the vehicle is running, t he MIL may flash to alert serious conditions that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be
serviced as soon as possible if this occurs.
