30 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 21. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) 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. If the light remains on with the engine running your vehicle will usually be drivable, however, see your authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. 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. The light will illuminate when the ignition is first turned ON and remain on for 15 seconds as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by your authorized dealer. 22. BRAKE Warning Light The red "BRAKE" warning light will illuminate when the ignition key is first turned ON, and stay on briefly as a bulb check. If the bulb does not illuminate on start-up, have the bulb repaired promptly. If the light stays on, it may be an indication that the parking brake has not been released, or there is a low brake fluid level. If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or a problem with the brake booster. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake. If the parking brake is applied, the light will flash when the shift lever is out of PARK for automatic transmissions. If the light comes on while driving, pull over immediately. Do not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle towed to the nearest authorized dealer. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary. Operating the vehicle in this condition is dangerous!
