Yellow Warning Lights

— Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Warning Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/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 required
as soon as possible. However, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate normally,
assuming the Brake Warning Light is not also
on.
If the ABS light does not turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position, have the brake system inspected
by an authorized dealer.

ACC/ON/RUN position, and when ESC is acti-
vated. It should go out with the engine running.
If the "ESC Indicator Light" comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction has
been detected in the ESC system. If this light
82

ters) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h),
see your authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
