6-32 Instruments and warning lamps
2 Brake warning lamp
This lamp lights up when the parking brake lever is
pulled or when the brake fluid level drops below the
safe limit. If the brake fluid level is too low, a buzzer
also sounds. The buzzer stops when the parking
brake is applied. Should the lamp remain illumi-
nated even after the parking brake lever has been
released or light up during driving, pull off the road
as soon as it is safe to do so, and perform the
checks below.
With the starter switch in the “ON” position and the
engine not running, the warning lamp will stay on
even if the parking brake lever is released. The
lamp will go out if the engine is started.
1. Check the brake fluid level.
Replenish the reservoir if the level is too low.
P. 1 2 - 3 5
2. Pump the brake pedal several times to make
sure that the fluid level does not drop.
3. If the fluid level drops, it indicates fluid leakage.
Call an authorized dealer.
3 Charge warning lamp
The charge warning lamp lights up when the starter
switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out
as soon as the alternator starts charging the battery
after the engine has turned over.
The lamp also lights up if a problem occurs in the
battery charging system while the engine is running.
If this occurs, pull off the road as soon as it is safe to
do so, and perform the following checks.
1. Check the V-belt for breakage and excessive
deflection. P. 12-60
2. Check for a blown high-current fuse in the bat-
tery charging circuit. If blown, replace with a new
one. P. 13-16
3. If both the above checks have turned out nor-
mal, the problem is probably in the battery
charging system. Call an authorized dealer.
WARNING
If the brake warning lamp comes on owing to
an excessively low level of brake fluid, the
brakes will not be fully effective and driving
will thus be dangerous. Do not drive the vehi-
cle in this condition.
