Brake System Warning Light
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capability in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. The warning
light should be checked frequently to assure
that it is operating properly. This can be done by turning
the ignition switch to a point midway between ON and
START. The light should come on. The red Brake Warning
Light will come on when the ignition is first turned on,
and stay on briefly as a bulb check. If the bulb does not
come on during starting, have the bulb repaired
promptly. If the light stays on longer, it may be an
indication that the parking brake has not been released. If
the light remains on when the parking brake is off it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction.
Immediate repair is necessary and continued operation of
the vehicle in this condition is dangerous.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is danger-
ous. Part of the brake system has failed. It will take
longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a accident.
Have the brakes checked immediately.
Airbag Light
This light will come on and remain on for 6 to
8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition
switch is first turned on. If the bulb is not lit
during starting, have it replaced. If the light
stays on or comes on while driving, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
