Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

The “Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning

Light” monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System. The

light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position and may stay on for as long as four

seconds.
If the “ABS Warning Light” remains on or comes on

while driving, it indicates that the anti-lock portion of the

brake system is not functioning and that service is

required. However, the conventional brake system will

continue to operate normally if the “Brake Warning

Light” is not on.
If the “ABS Warning Light” is on, the brake system

should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the

benefits of anti-lock brakes. If the “ABS Warning Light”

does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to

the ON position, have the bulb repaired as soon as

possible.

If both the “Brake Warning Light” and the “ABS Warning

Light” remain on, the ABS and EBD systems are not

functioning. Immediate repair to the ABS system is

required.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic

brake control system commonly referred to as ESC. This

system includes the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), the

TCS (Traction Control System), the BAS (Brake Assist

System), and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control). These

systems work together to enhance both vehicle stability

and control in various driving conditions.
An additional electronic brake control feature called Hill

Start Assist (HSA) is standard on manual transmission

models.
