Brake W arning Lamp
The brake warning lamp will come
on with the key in steering lock
position 2 and should go out when
the engine is running.
The brake warning lamp will come
on:
• when there is insufficient brake
fluid in the reservoir (engine
running and parking brake
released)
• when the parking brake is set
(engine running).
Warning!
Driving with the brake warn­
ing lamp on can result in an
accident. Have your brake
system checked immediately
if the brake warning lamp
stays on. Don't add brake fluid
before checking the brake
system. Overfilling the brake
fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot
engine parts and the brake
fluid catching fire. You can be
seriously burned.
When the minimum mark on the
reservoir is reached, have the
brake system checked for brake
pad thickness and leaks.
To test the brake warning lamp,
turn key in steering lock to
position 2. The brake warning
lamp comes on, and should go out
when the engine is running.
