Up-Shift Light (Manual Transmission) This light appears when you need to shift to the next higher gear on a manual transmission vehicle. Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part is not working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. Shifting when the indicator light is on will help you get the best fuel economy. See "Up-Shift Light" under Manual Transmission Operation on page 2-24 for more information. United States Canada This light should come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition key to ON. If it does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. 3-28
