Instruments and Controls

5-21

The vehicle may not pass
inspection if:

.

The malfunction indicator lamp is
on with the engine running, or if
the light does not come on when
the ignition is turned to ON/RUN
while the engine is off.

.

The critical emission control
systems have not been
completely diagnosed by the
system. This can happen if
the battery has recently been
replaced or if the battery has
run down. The diagnostic system
evaluates critical emission
control systems during normal
driving. This can take
several days of routine driving.
If this has been done and the
vehicle still does not pass the
inspection, your dealer can
prepare the vehicle for
inspection.

Brake System Warning
Light

With the ignition on, the brake
system warning light comes on
when the parking brake is set. If the
vehicle is driven with the parking
brake engaged, a chime sounds
when the vehicle speed is greater
than 5 km/h (3 mph).

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 and
a chime sounds there could be a
brake problem. Have the brake
system inspected by your dealer.

This light can also come on due to
low brake fluid. See Brake Fluid on
page 10‑26
for more information.

English

This light comes on briefly when the
ignition is turned to ON/RUN. If it
does not, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn if there is a problem.

If the light comes on while driving,
pull off the road and stop carefully.
The pedal could be harder to push
or could go closer to the floor.
