Ford 2006 Escape Hybrid Owner's Manual page 15

Service soon: The Service soon
indicator illuminates when the
vehicle has detected a malfunction.
Report the fault to a dealer at the
earliest opportunity.
Brake system warning light: To
confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to the RUN
position (when the engine is not running), or in a position between RUN
and START, or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned
to the RUN position. If the brake system warning light does not
illuminate at this time, seek service immediately from your dealership.
Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid
level and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your
authorized dealership.
Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is
dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may
occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS): If
the lamp stays on for more than a
few seconds, then an ABS fault is
indicated, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized
dealer. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light
also is illuminated.
Air bag readiness: If this light fails
to illuminate when ignition is turned
to ON, continues to flash or remains
on, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized
dealer. A chime will also sound when a malfunction in the supplemental
restraint system has been detected.
