Instruments and Controls

For vehicles with the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB), the parking
brake warning light should come on
briefly when ignition is placed in ON/
RUN. If it does not come on, then
have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn if there is a problem.

If this light comes on, there is a
problem with a system on the
vehicle that is causing the parking
brake system to work at a reduced
level. The vehicle can still be driven,
but should be taken to a dealer as
soon as possible. See Parking
Brake on page 9‑34
for more
information.

For vehicles with the uplevel or
eAssist cluster, this telltale
displays in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) screen.

Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light

This light comes on briefly when the
engine is started.

If the light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.

If the ABS light stays on, turn the
ignition off.

If the light comes on while driving,
stop as soon as it is safely possible
and turn off the vehicle. Then start
the engine again to reset the
system. If the ABS light stays on,
or comes on again while driving,
the vehicle needs service. A chime
may also sound when the light
comes on steady.

If the ABS light is the only light on,
the vehicle has regular brakes, but
the antilock brakes are not
functioning.

If both the ABS and the brake
system warning light are on, the
vehicle's antilock brakes are not
functioning and there is a problem
with the regular brakes. See your
dealer for service.
