Indicator, Coming On/Blinking If the Brake System Indicator Comes On
292
Handling the Unexpected
If the Brake System Indicator Comes On
Reasons for the indicator to come on
The brake fluid is low.
There is a malfunction in the brake system.
What to do when the indicator comes on while driving
Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure.
If normal, check the brake fluid level the next time you stop.
If abnormal, take immediate action. If necessary, downshift the
transmission to slow the vehicle using engine braking.
If the Brake System Indicator Comes On
Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
It is dangerous to drive with low brake fluid. If
there is no resistance from the brake pedal, stop
immediately in a safe place. If necessary downshift
the gears.
If the brake system indicator and ABS indicator
come on simultaneously, the brake distribution
system is not working. This can result in vehicle
instability under sudden braking.
Have your vehicle inspected by a dealer immediately.

If the EPS Indicator Comes On
Reasons for the indicator to come on
Comes on when there is a problem with EPS.
If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the
engine speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
What to do when the indicator comes on
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.
If the EPS Indicator Comes On
NOTICE
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel
on the full left or right position for a while, the
system heats up. The system goes into a protective
mode, and limits its performance. The steering
wheel becomes harder and harder to operate. Once
the system cools down, EPS is restored. Repeated
operation under these conditions can eventually
damage the system.
