UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 93 the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally provided that the BRAKE warning light is not on. 18. Oil Pressure Light Shows low engine oil pressure. The light will come on and remain on briefly when the ignition is turned on as a bulb check. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the bulb repaired promptly. If the light comes on and remains on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine. Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. The light does not show the quantity of oil in the engine. This can be determined using the procedure shown in Section 7. 19. Brake System Warning Light 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. On vehicles equipped with Anti-lock brakes (ABS), the brake light may also indicate reduced braking performance. If the parking brake is off and the light remains on, have the brake system inspected as soon as possible. WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately. The warning light should be checked frequently to assure that it is operating properly. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position. (Refer to "A Word About Your Keys, Ignition Key Removal" in this manual for an illustration of the ignition positions.) The light should come on. If the light does not come on, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 4
