23. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System

(ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition

switch is placed in the ON/RUN position and

may stay on for as long as four seconds.

If the ABS light remains on or turns 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 light is on, the brake system should be serviced

as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock

brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the

ignition switch is placed in the ON/RUN position, have

the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

24. Low Fuel Light

This light will turn on and a single chime will

sound when the fuel level drops to 1/8 tank.

25. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an

onboard diagnostic system called OBD. The OBD

system monitors engine and automatic transmission

control systems. The MIL will turn on when the ignition is in

the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the MIL does

not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN,

have the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap,

poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after

engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the MIL

stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In

most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will

not require towing.
