Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

The “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” moni-

tors the anti-lock brake system. The light will

come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position and may stay on for as long as

four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” remains on or

comes on while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock

portion of the brake system is not functioning and that

service is required. However, the conventional brake

system will continue to operate normally if the “Brake

Warning Light” is not on.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on, the brake

system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore

the benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “Anti-Lock Brake

Warning Light” does not come on when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position, have the bulb

repaired as soon as possible.
If both the “Brake Warning Light” and the “Anti-Lock

Brake Warning Light” remain on, the ABS and Electronic

Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems are not function-

ing. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.

Consult with your authorized dealer service center as

soon as possible.
