Charging System Light

The charging system light comes on
briefly when the ignition is turned
on, but the engine is not running,
as a check to show the light is
working. It should go out when the
engine is started.

If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, there could be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer/retailer. Driving while this light
is on could drain the battery.

If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

Brake System Warning
Light

The brake indicator light should
come on briefly as the engine
is started. If it does not come on
have the vehicle serviced by
your dealer/retailer.

When the ignition is on, the brake
system warning light comes on
when the parking brake is set.
The light stays on if the parking
brake does not fully release.
If it stays on after the parking brake
is fully released, there is a brake
problem. Have the brake system
inspected immediately.

CAUTION

The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on.
Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to a
crash. If the light is still on after
the vehicle has been pulled off
the road and carefully stopped,
have the vehicle towed for
service.

If the light comes on while driving, a
chime sounds. Pull off the road
and stop. The pedal might be harder
to push or go closer to the floor.
It might also take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have the vehicle
towed for service. See Towing
Your Vehicle
on page 9-73.
