Parking Brake and
Brake System Indicator
This indicator has two functions:
1. This indicator is a reminder to
check the parking brake. On some
types, it comes on when you turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. Driving with the parking
brake not fully released can
damage the brakes and tyres.
2. If the indicator remains lit after
you have fully released the
parking brake while the engine is
running, or if it comes on while
driving, it can indicate a problem
in the brake system. For more
information, see page
High Temperature
Indicator
This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. This indicator
normally comes on when you turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position and goes off after the engine
starts. In normal driving conditions,
the indicator should not be turned on.
In severe driving conditions, such as
very hot weather or a long period of
uphill driving, the indicator will begin
to blink. It may continue to blink as
the temperature rises. If this occurs
while you are driving, be sure to limit
your speed to prevent further
overheating. If the indicator remains
on, then you must pull safely to the
371 . side of the road. See page
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine's cooling
system.
Do not drive the vehicle while the
indicator is on or the engine may be
damaged.
Low Temperature
Indicator
This shows the temperature of the
engine's coolant. There is no
problem when this indicator comes
on when the engine is cold. If it
comes on when the engine is warm
(normal operating temperature),
have the vehicle inspected by your
dealer as soon as possible.
