Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a
large number of electrical accessories are operating in
the vehicle and the engine
is
left at an idle for an
extended period. This condition is normal since the
charging system is not able to provide full power
at engine idle.
As
engine speeds are increased, this
condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds
allow the charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading
in either warning zone. If you must drive, turn
off
all unnecessary accessories.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system. Have the vehicle
serviced as soon as possible.
Brake System Warning Light
With the ignition on, the brake system warning light will
flash when you set the parking brake. The light will
flash
if
the parking brake doesn’t release fully. If you
try to drive with the parking brake engaged, a chime
will
sound
when the vehicle speed is greater than
3
mph
(5
km/h).
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two
parts.
If
one part isn’t working, the other part can still
work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need
both parts working well.
If the warning light
comes
on and
a
chime sounds there
could be a brake problem. Have your brake system
inspected right away.

This light should come on briefly when you turn the
ignition key to
RUN.
If it doesn’t come on then, have it
fixed
so
it will be ready to warn you
if
there’s a
problem.
