Main Menu Table Of Contents Instrument Panel Indicators Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Indicator This indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, and when the ignition switch is turned to the START (III) position. If it comes on at any other time, there is a problem with the ABS. If this happens, have your vehicle checked at a dealer. With this indicator on, your vehicle still has normal braking ability but no anti-lock function. For more information, see page 168 . Electric Power Steering (EPS) Indicator This indicator normally comes on when you turn the ignition to the ON (II) position and goes off after the engine starts. If it comes on at any other time, there is a problem in the electric power steering system. If this happens, stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine. Reset the system by restarting the engine. The indicator will not turn off immediately. If it does not go off after driving a short distance, or comes on again while driving, take the vehicle to your dealer to have it checked. With the indicator on, the EPS may be turned off, making the vehicle harder to steer. If the power steering system overheats while driving, the assist is reduced and steering may feel slightly harder. Driving with the power steering system continuously overheating can cause system damage. Low Fuel Indicator This indicator comes on as a reminder that you must refuel soon. When the indicator comes on, there is about 1.7 US gal (6.3 ) of fuel remaining in the tank before the needle reaches E. There is a small reserve of fuel remaining in the tank when the needle does reach E. Door and Tailgate Open Indicator This indicator comes on if any door or the tailgate is not closed tightly. 62 2008 Fit
