UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 69 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS 1. Fog Light Indicator This light shows when the fog lights are ON. 2. Brake System Warning Light This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light comes on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, or there is a low brake fluid level. It may also indicate an ABS malfunction that could lead to reduced braking performance. The operation of the Brake Warning light can be checked by turning the ignition key from the OFF to the ON position. The light should illuminate for three seconds, or until the engine is started, whichever comes first. The light should then go out unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected and serviced as soon as possible. The light will also come on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition in the ON position. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is on. It does not show the degree of brake application. If the parking brake is off and the light remains on, have the brake system inspected as soon as possible. 3. Anti-Lock Warning Light (ABS) This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. 4 WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance or vehicle stability during braking may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to control. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
