WARNING
(Continued)
• If one or more of your tires is
under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure in all of your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure as
soon as possible.
Be aware that driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire can cause
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure, and may affect steering
control and brake effectiveness. This
could lead to an accident, resulting in
severe injury or death.
Refer to "Tire Pressure Monitoring System"
in the "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE" sec-
tion for additional details on the tire pres-
sure monitoring system. Refer to "Tires" in
the "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE"
section for information on maintaining
proper tire pressure.
Brake System Warning Light
This light comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the "ON" position.
The light also comes on under the follow-
ing conditions: 1) when the parking brake
is engaged and 2) when the fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir falls below the speci-
fied level. The light should go out after fully
releasing the parking brake, if the fluid
level in the brake fluid reservoir is ade-
quate.
If this light and the ABS warning light stay
on, or come on simultaneously when driv-
ing, then there may be something wrong
with both the rear brake proportioning
valve function and anti-lock function of the
ABS.
If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle's brake system. If this happens,
you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
