BRAKE Parking Brake/Brake Failure Warning Light Check the brake warning light every time you start the car. With the parking brake set, the warning light should go on when the ignition switch is turned to II or III. With the parking brake released, the light should go on when the ignition switch is turned to III. If the light goes on at any other time, it means the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir is too low; add fluid (see page 92) and have your dealer check for leaks immediately. Seat Belt Reminder Light The seat belt reminder light comes on for approximately six seconds when the ignition switch is turned on (see page 14). Oil Pressure Warning Light A severe fluctuation in engine oil pressure will cause this light to flash on and off. You should stop as soon as possible, check the oil level, and add oil if necessary. The oil pressure warning light will come on, and remain on, if there is insufficient oil pressure or when the ignition switch is turned on with the engine not running. If the light should come on while driving, get the car off the road as soon as you can, turn the engine off and check the engine oil level (see page 83). Even if the oil level is correct, the engine should be checked by a Honda dealer before the car is driven again. NOTE: The oil pressure warning light will only light as a result of low oil pressure. It is not directly an oil level indicator. CAUTION: Running the engine while the oil pressure warning light is on constantly may cause immediate and severe engine damage. (cont'd)

With the parking brake set, the warning light should go on
when the ignition switch is turned to II or III. With the parking
brake released, the light should go on when the ignition switch
is turned to III. If the light goes on at any other time, it means
the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir is too low;
add fluid (see page

) and have your dealer check for leaks
immediately.
Seat Belt Reminder Light
The seat belt reminder light comes on for approximately six
seconds when the ignition switch is turned on (see page

Oil Pressure Warning Light
A severe fluctuation in engine oil pressure will cause this light
to flash on and off. You should stop as soon as possible, check
the oil level, and add oil if necessary.
The oil pressure warning light will come on, and remain on, if
there is insufficient oil pressure or when the ignition switch is
turned on with the engine not running. If the light should come
on while driving, get the car off the road as soon as you can,
turn the engine off and check the engine oil level (see page
83
).
Even if the oil level is correct, the engine should be checked by
a Honda dealer before the car is driven again.

of low oil pressure. It is not directly an oil level indicator.
CAUTION: Running the engine while the oil pressure warning
light is on constantly may cause immediate and severe engine
damage.
