For additional details on the tyre pressure
monitoring system, refer to “Tyres” in
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion for information on maintaining proper
tyre pressure.
Brake System Warning Light
82K170
Three different types of operations exist
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
• The light comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned “ON”.
• The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition switch
in “ON” position.
• The light comes on under either or both
of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is adequate.
WARNING
(Continued)
• The load-carrying capacity of your
tyres is reduced at lower inflation
pressures. If your tyres are even
moderately under-inflated, the load
on the tyres may exceed the load-
carrying capacity of the tyres,
which could lead to tyre failure. The
low tyre pressure warning light will
not alert you to this condition,
because it only comes on when
one or more of your tyres becomes
significantly under-inflated.
Check and adjust your tyre pres-
sure at least once a month. Refer to
“Tyres” in “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Continuing to drive with the low
tyre pressure warning light on can
lead to an accident, resulting in
severe injury or death.
If the low tyre pressure warning
light comes on and stays on,
reduce your speed and avoid
abrupt steering and braking. Be
aware that driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tyre can
cause the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effec-
tiveness. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place as soon as possible and
check your tyres.
– If you have a flat tyre, replace it
with the spare tyre. Refer to
“Jacking Instructions” in “EMER-
GENCY SERVICE” section for the
tyre replacement method. Also
refer to “Replacing tyres and/or
wheels” for instructions on how
to restore normal operation of
the TPMS after you have had a
flat tyre.
– If one or more of your tyres is
under-inflated, adjust the infla-
tion pressure of all tyres to the
recommended inflation pressure
as soon as possible.
