means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate

dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each

time you place the ignition switch in the ON/RUN

position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and

release the TRIP ODOMETER button on the instrument

cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after

performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the

following procedure:
1. Place the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position (do

not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times

within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
NOTE:

If the indicator message illuminates when you

start the engine, the oil change indicator system did not

reset. If necessary, repeat these steps.

20. Brake Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions,

including brake fluid level and parking brake

application. 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 malfunction. In this case, the light will

remain on until the condition has been corrected.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-

ity 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.
