146 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. 21. Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) Indicator Light The VTA indicator Light flashes rapidly when the VTA is arming, and slowly when the VTA is armed. (See page 24 for more information.) 22. Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light - If Equipped This light will turn on continuously when there is a Low tire pressure condition. The light will also turn on if a problem exist with any tire sensor. When a system fault is detected, the indicator light will flash repetitively for ten seconds. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes or until the fault condition is removed and reset. The light will remain on or flashing until the tire pressure is properly set or the problem with the sensor is corrected. This light will turn on momentarily as a bulb check when the engine is started. When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information Placard. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified in the tire and loading information placard.
