3. SRS airbag warning light This light comes on when the motor switch is turned to "ACC" or "ON". It goes off after a few seconds. This means the SRS airbag system is operating properly. The light comes on if the SRS airbag system fails. For details, see "SRS airbags" in Chapter 2- 2. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning light system. Contact EV service station. If the SRS airbag does not work properly in a collision, you will be injured. 5. Low tire pressure warning light This light warns that the tire pressure of any one of the tires is critically reduced. The light comes on when the motor switch is turned to the "ON" position. It goes off after about 3 seconds. This indicates that the tire pressure warning system is functioning properly. If the light remains on after about 3 seconds, increase the tire pressure and start driving after making sure the light is off. If the light comes on while driving, adjust tire pressure to the specified level. (See "Tires" in Part 8.) After the tire pressure is adjusted, the light should go off after driving at about more than 30 km/h (19 mph) for some time. If the light still remains on, have the tire pressure warning system checked at your EV service station. 6. "ABS" warning Light This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in your anti- lock brake system. If the light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle checked by your EV service station as soon as possible. However, it is normal if the light goes out. The light will come on when the motor key is turned to "ON", and will go off after about a few seconds. The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the traction motor is started. It is normal if it goes out after a while. Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the light. It is normal if it goes off after about a few seconds. When the "ABS" warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off), the brake system operates conventionally but anti- lock brake system is not assisting brake performance so that the wheels could lock up during a sudden brake or braking on slippery road surfaces. D The light does not come on as described above or remains on. D The light comes on while driving. 4. Open door warning light This warning light comes on when any of the doors are not completely closed. Do not drive the vehicle with the light on. If any of the doors accidently opens during driving, it is danger and may cause an accident. 7
