- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we

recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)

system.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle

the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed
in the PARK position; the light should turn off.

• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be

drivable; however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is
flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may
experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.

- Air Bag Warning Light

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the

vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

“clicking” sound is heard.

• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the

gas cap, see your authorized service center.
