Instruments and Controls

Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light

For vehicles with the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), this light comes on
briefly when the engine is started.

If it does not, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer. If the
system is working normally the
indicator light then goes off.

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 the ignition
off. 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.
If the regular brake system warning
light is not on, the vehicle still has
brakes, but not antilock brakes.

If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, the vehicle does not
have antilock brakes and there is a
problem with the regular brakes.
See Brake System Warning Light on
page 5‑25
.

For vehicles with a Driver
Information Center (DIC), see Brake
System Messages on page 5‑40
for
all brake‐related DIC messages.

If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the
hybrid supplement for more
information.

Four-Wheel-Drive Light

For vehicles equipped with the
four-wheel-drive light, it comes on
when a vehicle with a manual

transfer case is shifted into
four-wheel drive and the front axle
engages.

Some delay between the shifting
and the light coming on is normal.

See Four-Wheel Drive on page 9‑40
for more information.

Tow/Haul Mode Light

For vehicles with the Tow/Haul
Mode feature, this light comes on
when the Tow/Haul Mode has been
activated.

For more information, see Tow/Haul
Mode on page 9‑39
