CAUTION:

Your regular brake system may not be working
properly if the anti

-

lock brake system warning

light is on. Driving with the anti

-

lock brake

system warning light on can lead to an accident.
After you’ve pulled off the road and stopped
carefully, have the vehicle towed for service.

If the anti

-

lock brake system warning light stays on

longer than normal after you’ve started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you’re driving, your vehicle needs service. If the
light is on and the regular brake system warning light
isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have
anti

-

lock brakes.

The anti

-

lock brake system warning light should come

on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.

Traction Control System Warning
Light (Option)

This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine.

If the warning light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. If it
stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there may be
a problem with your traction control system and your
vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
