Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by

turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the

ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for ap-

proximately two seconds. The light should then turn off

unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is

detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light

inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is

applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi-

tion.
NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

alarm is arming, and then will flash slowly

until the vehicle is disarmed.

should be checked monthly when cold and

by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle

has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should

determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those

tires.)

possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving

on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to

overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
