ABS warning lamp

The ABS lamp in the instrument
cluster momentarily illuminates
when the ignition is turned on. If
the light does not illuminate during
start up, remains on or flashes, the
ABS may be disabled and may need to be serviced.

Even when the ABS is disabled,
normal braking is still effective. If
your BRAKE warning lamp
illuminates with the parking brake
released, have your brake system
serviced immediately by an authorized dealer.

Brake override

This vehicle is equipped with a brake override feature. In the event the
accelerator pedal becomes stuck or entrapped, applying steady and firm
pressure to the brake pedal will both slow the vehicle and reduce engine
power. If you experience this condition, apply the brakes and bring your
vehicle to a safe stop. Turn the engine off, shift to P (Park) and apply
the parking brake, and then inspect the accelerator pedal for any
interferences. If none are found and the condition persists, have your
vehicle towed to the nearest dealer.

Parking brake

To set the parking brake, press the
parking brake pedal down until the
pedal stops.

The BRAKE warning lamp in the
instrument cluster illuminates and
remains illuminated until the
parking brake is released.
