WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when
the ignition switch is turned to 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, it indicates that the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is
required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate nor-
mally 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 turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle
the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed
in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be
drivable; however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is
flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may
experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.
- Air Bag Warning Light
• This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition
switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position. If the light is either not on during
starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible. Refer to "Occupant Restraints" in "Things
To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" of your owners manual for further
information.
- SERV (Service) 4WD Indicator Light
• The SERV 4WD light monitors the electric shift four-wheel drive system. If the
SERV 4WD light stays on or comes on during driving, it means that the four-wheel
drive system is not functioning properly and that service is required.
• For vehicles equipped with a premium cluster this indicator will display in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
