As your vehicle has anti-lock
brakes
If you drive your vehicle with a low battery
charge after the engine has been started by
using jumper cables, the engine may misfire.
This can cause the anti-lock braking system
warning light to blink on and off. This is only
due to the low battery voltage. It is not a
problem with the brake system. If this hap-
pens, fully charge the battery and ensure the
charging system is operating properly.
