US BRAKE Canada 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 116) and have your dealer check for leaks immediately. Fuel Reserve Warning Light If the warning light glows, it means you should refuel, because the tank contains less than: 8.0 (2.11 US gal, 1.76 Imp gal) Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light (US: EX, Canada: EX-R) ABS The ABS warning light will come on, and remain on, if there is a malfunction in the ABS or when the ignition switch is turned on with the engine not running. If the light comes on while driving, stop the car at a safe place and shut off the engine. If the light does not go out or lights again while driving, have the system checked by an authorized Honda dealer as soon as possible. NOTE: The light does not indicate a failure of the normal brake system. The light only indicates a malfunction in the ABS. In such a case, the ABS is automatically shut down but normal braking capability continues. After jump-starting the car, there is a possibility that the ABS warning light may come on due to insufficient battery voltage. After the battery is sufficiently recharged and the engine is turned off and restarted, the ABS warning light should indicate that the ABS is OK, by coming on for a few seconds each time the engine is started. If the light remains on after recharging, have it checked by a Honda dealer. (cont'd)

US
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
116
) and
have your dealer check for leaks immediately.
Fuel Reserve Warning Light
If the warning light glows, it means you should refuel, because the
tank contains less than:
8.0
(2.11 US gal, 1.76 Imp gal)
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light
(US: EX, Canada: EX-R)
The ABS warning light will come on, and remain on, if there is a
malfunction in the ABS or when the ignition switch is turned on
with the engine not running. If the light comes on while driving, stop
the car at a safe place and shut off the engine. If the light does not
go out or lights again while driving, have the system checked by an
authorized Honda dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE:
The light does not indicate a failure of the normal brake system.
The light only indicates a malfunction in the ABS. In such a case,
the ABS is automatically shut down but normal braking capability
continues.
After jump-starting the car, there is a possibility that the ABS
warning light
may come on due to insufficient battery voltage.
After the battery is sufficiently recharged and the engine is turned
off and restarted, the ABS warning light should indicate that the
ABS is OK, by coming on for a few seconds each time the engine
is started. If the light remains on after recharging, have it checked
by a Honda dealer.
