Brake warning display

This warning is displayed if you drive with the park-
ing brake still applied. The warning lamp in the in-
strument cluster only illuminates when the parking
brake is applied.

CAUTION
l If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.
If this warning is displayed, release the
parking brake.
When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" po-
sition, if the brake fluid is low, this warning is dis-
played.
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster also il-
luminates.

l
If this warning stays illuminated and
E00524700238
does not go out while driving, there is a
danger of ineffective braking. If this hap-
pens, immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and we recommend you to
have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed
and the brake warning lamp and the ABS
warning lamp are illuminated at the same
time, the braking force distribution func-
tion will not operate, so the vehicle may
be destabilised during sudden braking.
Avoid sudden braking and high-speed
driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and we recommend you to have it checked.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake per-
formance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than
usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down
to the very end of its possible stroke,
keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine brak-
ing to reduce your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate
the stop lamp to alert the vehicles be-
hind you.

l
Under conditions such as sporty driving, the
brake fluid in the tank may move and the
warning display may appear temporarily. If
the warning display goes out after a while,
there is not a problem with the brake system
and the vehicle can be driven normally.
