Brake warning lamp
Except Canada
Canada only
When the brake warning lamp and message appear 
while the engine is running, this means:
• there is insufficient brake fluid in the reservoir
(engine running and parking brake released), or
• the parking brake is set (engine running).
If a warning tone sounds for 5 seconds and the warning 
lamps
É and - are displayed in the instrument
cluster, the electronic brake booster (EBB) has a 
malfunction and is switched off. See page 242 for notes 
on the electronic brake booster (EBB).
Note:
If you find that the minimum mark on the brake fluid 
reservoir is reached, have the brake system checked for 
brake pad thickness and leaks.
Warning!
Driving with the brake warning lamp illuminated 
can result in an accident. Have your brake system 
checked immediately if the brake warning lamp 
stays on. Do not add brake fluid before checking the 
brake system. Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir 
can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine 
parts and the brake fluid catching fire. You can be 
seriously burned.
