Indicator Lights Supplemental Restraint System Indicator See page 17. SRS U.S. Malfunction Indicator Lamp See page 218. Door and Brake Lamp Monitor ABS Canada Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Indicator The appropriate light comes on in this display if the trunk or any door is not closed tightly. If a brake light does not work, the BRAKE LAMP indicator comes on when you push the brake pedal with the ignition switch ON (II). A burned out brake light is a hazard when drivers behind you cannot tell you are braking. Have your brake lights repaired right away. All the lights in the monitor display come on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch ON (II). Only on cars equipped with ABS (see page 124) This light normally comes on when you turn the ignition ON (II) and goes off after the engine starts. If it comes on at any other time, there is a problem in the ABS. If this happens, take the car to your dealer to have it checked. With the light on, your car still has normal braking ability but no anti-lock. Instruments and Controls
