Red Warning Lights

Warning Light
PARKING BRAKE WARNING - WARNING LIGHT INSPECTION/LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL WARNING
Parking brake warning / Warning light inspection
The light illuminates when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switched to START or
ON. It turns off when the parking brake is fully released.
Low brake fluid level warning
If the brake warning light remains illuminated even though the parking brake is released, the
brake fluid may be low or there could be a problem with the brake system. Park the vehicle in a
safe place immediately and contact an Authorized Dealership.
Note:
Do not drive with the brake system warning light illuminated. Contact an Authorized
Dealership to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible. Driving with the brake system
warning light illuminated is dangerous. It indicates that your brakes may not work at all or that
they could completely fail at any time. If this light remains illuminated, after checking that the
parking brake is fully released, have the brakes inspected immediately.
The effectiveness of the braking may diminish so you may need to push the brake pedal
more strongly than normal to stop the vehicle.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact an Authorized Dealership.
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) SYSTEM WARNING
If the EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) control unit determines that some components
are operating incorrectly, the control unit may illuminate the brake system warning light and the
ABS warning light simultaneously. The problem is likely to be the electronic brake force
distribution system. Stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact an Authorized
Dealership.
Note:
Do not drive with both the ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminated. Contact an
Authorized Dealership to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible. Driving when the
brake system warning light and ABS warning light are illuminated simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emergency
stop than under normal circumstances.
