when the ignition switch is placed in the ON/
RUN position and may stay on for as long as
four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and service is re-
quired. However, the conventional brake sys-
tem will continue to operate normally if the
BRAKE warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should
be serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS light
does not turn on when the ignition switch is
placed in the ON/RUN position, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.
6. Driver Information Display (DID) Area
The odometer display shows the total distance
the vehicle has been driven. The trip odometer
shows individual trip mileage.
NOTE:
The DID features an interactive display, for
further information refer to "Driver Information
Display (DID) ".
7. Gear Status Indicator — Automatic
Transmission Only
The Gear Status Indicator is self-contained
within the instrument cluster. It displays the gear
position of the automatic transmission.
8. Seat Belt Reminder Light
This light will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check when the
ignition switch is first placed in ON/
RUN. A chime will sound if the driver's
seat belt is unbuckled during the bulb check.
The Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain
on continuously if the driver's seat belt remains
unbuckled after the bulb check or when driving.
Refer to "Occupant Restraints" in "Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" for further
information.
9. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake func-
tions, including brake fluid level and
parking brake application. If the brake
light turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low,
or that there is a problem with the anti-lock
brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction. In this case, the light will remain on
until the condition has been corrected.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either
half of the dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light which will turn on when the
brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during
sharp cornering maneuvers which change
fluid level conditions. The vehicle should
have service performed, and the brake fluid
level checked.
