UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 87 17. Anti-Lock Warning Light - If Equipped This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the RUN position and may stay on for several seconds. If the light does not come on, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. The warning light should be checked frequently to assure that it is operating properly. If the ABS light remains on or comes on during driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required, however, 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. (See page 210 for more information.) 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. 4
