Chrysler 2015 200 - User Guide - Manual (Page 168)

WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the Transmission Temperature Warning Light is
illuminated you could cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
- Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to ON/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 remains unbuckled, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light will illuminate, and the chime will sound.
Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
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.
- Brake Warning Light
This 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 malfunc-
tion 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 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.
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.
