UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 101 9. Tachometer This gauge shows engine speed in revolutions-perminute (RPM) times 1,000. The red markings on the tachometer indicate excessive engine speed. Ease off on the accelerator before reaching the red area. 10. Brake System Warning Light The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capability if a failure occurs in a portion of the hydraulic system. This light monitors both the brake fluid level and the parking brake. If the light comes on, it indicates either that the parking brake is on or there is a low fluid level in the brake master cylinder. Since this vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes (ABS), the brake light may also indicate reduced braking performance due to the loss of electronic brake proportioning. If the parking brake is off and the light remains on, have the brake system inspected as soon as possible. The warning light should be checked frequently to assure that it is operating properly. This can be done by turning the ignition switch to START. The light should come on. If the red brake light does not come on when the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the brake light repaired promptly. WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is on. It does not show the degree of brake application. The brake warning light will come on if the ABS light is not functioning and there is an ABS system malfunction. 4
