Instruments and Controls
If the light is on steady : A malfunction has
been detected. Diagnosis and service may be
required.
Check the following:
A loose or missing fuel cap may cause
the light to come on. See Filling the Tank
0 104. A few driving trips with the cap
properly installed may turn the light off.
Poor fuel quality can cause inefficient
engine operation and poor driveability,
which may go away once the engine is
warmed up. If this occurs, change the fuel
brand. It may require at least one full
tank of the proper fuel to turn the light
off. See Fuel 0 104.
If the light remains on, see your dealer.
Service Vehicle Soon Light
For vehicles with this light, it comes on if a
condition exists that may require the vehicle
to be taken in for service.
If the light comes on, take the vehicle to
your dealer for service as soon as possible.
Brake System Warning Light
The vehicle brake system consists of two
hydraulic circuits. If one circuit is not
working, the remaining circuit can still work
to stop the vehicle. For normal braking
performance, both circuits need to be
working.
If the warning light comes on, there is a
brake problem. Have the brake system
inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly when the
engine is started. If it does not come on
then, have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn you if there is a problem.
When the ignition is on, the brake system
warning light also comes on when the
parking brake is set. The light stays on if
the parking brake does not fully release. If it
stays on after the parking brake is fully
released, it means the vehicle has a brake
problem.
Warning
The brake system might not be working
properly if the brake system warning
light is on. Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to a crash.
If the light is still on after the vehicle has
been pulled off the road and carefully
stopped, have the vehicle towed for
service.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) light comes
on briefly when the engine is started.
If the light does not come on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn if there is a
problem.
