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.
