Transmission Fault Warning Light
Red TelltaleLight What It Means
Transmission Fault Warning Light
This light will illuminate (together with a message in the Instrument Cluster Display and a
buzzer) to indicate a transmission fault. This light indicates that the transmission fluid tem-
perature is running hot. This may occur with severe usage. If this light turns on, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. Then, place the transmission into NEUTRAL and run the engine
at idle speed or apply light foot pressure to increase the engine speed RPM until the Trans-
mission Temperature light turns off. Contact your authorized dealer if the message remains
after restarting the engine.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light is illumi-
nated you could cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust components and
cause a fire.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Tem-
perature Warning Light illuminated will eventually
cause severe transmission damage or transmission
failure.

Yellow Telltale Indicator Lights
Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light
Yellow TelltaleLight What It Means
Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Light
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure
is lower than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these
cases, optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tire in sequence.
IMPORTANT: Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tires as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair
immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit and
contact your authorized dealership as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If
your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure label, you should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires. As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect fuel economy
and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe
catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon
occur. Immediate service is required.
Service Warning Indicator Light – If Equipped
Yellow TelltaleLight What It Means
Service Warning Indicator Light
The “Scheduled Servicing Plan” includes vehicle maintenance at fixed intervals, refer to the
Maintenance
chapter. This message is displayed automatically along with the warning light
when the key is turned to MAR/ON/RUN - 1242 miles (2,000 km) before these deadlines
and reappears every 124 miles (200 km). Below 124 miles (200 km) servicing indications are
more frequent. The indication will appear in miles or kilometers according to the Unit Of
Measurement settings. When the next scheduled service is approaching and the key is
turned to MAR/ON/RUN, the word Service will appear on the display, followed by the
number of miles or kilometers left. Contact a dedicated authorized dealership. The opera-
tions in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will be performed and the message will be reset.
