WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning lights
and messages.
NOTE:
The warning light turns on together with a
dedicated message and/or chime when
applicable. These indications are precau-
tionary and as such must not be considered
as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read care -
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa -
tion in this section in the event of a failure
indication.
The failure indicators appearing on the
display are divided into two categories: very
serious and less serious faults. Serious
faults are indicated by a repeated and
prolonged warning cycle. Less serious faults
are indicated by a warning cycle with a
shorter duration. You can stop the warning
cycle in both cases by pushing the button
located on the windshield wiper stalk. The
instrument panel warning light will stay on
until the cause of the failure is eliminated.
Red Warning Lights
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault with the air bag, and
will turn on for four to eight seconds
as a bulb check when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN posi -
tion. This light will illuminate with a single
chime when a fault with the air bag has been
detected, it will stay on until the fault is
cleared. If the light is either not on during
startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various
brake functions, including brake
fluid level and parking brake applica -
tion. If the brake light turns on it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a
problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir,
it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake
Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsa
-
tion may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either
half of the dual brake system is indicated by
the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair
is necessary.
WARNING!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by
the turning on of the icon on the instru -
ment panel. In this case, the warning light
may not indicate any faults with the
restraint systems. Before proceeding,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is
required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two
seconds. The light should then turn off unless
the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have
the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
When the ignition is first placed in
the ON/RUN position, if the driver’s
seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will
sound and the light will turn on.
When driving, if the driver or front passenger
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will flash or remain on contin -
uously and a chime will sound
Ú
page 163.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Failure
The simultaneous turning on of the
BRAKE (red) and (amber) warning
lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or
that the system is not available. In this case,
the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly.
Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized
dealer to have the system inspected immedi -
ately.
Oil Temperature Warning Light
This telltale indicates engine oil
temperature is high.

Amber Warning Lights
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light
This light monitors the ABS. The light
will turn on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position and
may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and service is
If the warning light does not turn on when
the ignition device is moved to ON or if it
stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), there might be a
fault in the restraint systems; in this case,
the air bags or pretensioners may not
deploy in the event of an accident or, in a
lower number of cases, they could deploy
erroneously. Before proceeding, contact
an authorized dealer to have the system
checked immediately.

page 161.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Warning 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.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom
-
mended 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 pressure label, you should determine
the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a
low tire pressure telltale when one or more of
your tires is significantly underinflated. Accord -
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi -
nates, you should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure. Under inflation
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tires as handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking
and steering. If a tire puncture occurs,
repair immediately using the dedicated tire
repair kit and contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.

while still maintaining security. The system
has a range of at least 300 feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also activates the
climate control, the heated seats (if
equipped), and the heated steering wheel (if
equipped), depending on temperatures
outside and inside of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil -
dren. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in
an attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious
personal injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.

temperatures are below -20°F (-29°C).
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
Engine Break-In
For both engines, use the following engine
break-in recommendations:
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera -
tion. This should be considered a normal part
of the break-in period and not interpreted as
an indication of a problem. Please monitor
your oil level during the break-in period and
add oil as required.
It is recommended for the operator to observe
the following driving behaviors during the new
vehicle break-in period: 0 to 100 miles (0 to 160 km):
Do not allow the engine to operate at idle for
an extended period of time.
Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not
more than halfway to avoid rapid accelera
-
tion.
Avoid aggressive braking.
Drive with the engine speed less than
3,500 RPM.
Maintain vehicle speed below 55 mph
(88 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
100 to 300 miles (160 to 483 km):
Press the accelerator pedal slowly and not
more than halfway to avoid rapid accelera -
tion in lower gears (FIRST to THIRD gears).
Avoid aggressive braking.
Drive with the engine speed less than
5,000 RPM.
Maintain vehicle speed below 70 mph
(112 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):
Exercise the full engine RPM range, shifting
manually (paddles or gear shift) at higher
RPM when possible.
Do not perform sustained operation with
the accelerator pedal at wide open throttle.
Maintain vehicle speed below 85 mph
(136 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
WARNING!
Remember to disconnect the engine block
heater cord before driving. Damage to the
110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause
electrocution.

For the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km):
Do not participate in track events, sport
driving schools, or similar activities during
the first 1,500 miles (2,414 km).
NOTE:
Monitor engine oil with every refueling and add
if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be
higher through the first oil change interval.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)
The EPB features a switch located on the
center console, a caliper with motor for each
rear wheel, and an electronic control module.
Electric Park Brake Switch
The EPB can be engaged in two ways:
Manually, by pulling the switch on the
center console.
Automatically, in “Safe Hold” or “Auto Park
Brake” conditions.
NOTE:
Normally, the EPB is engaged automatically
when the engine is stopped. This function can
be deactivated/activated on the Information
and Entertainment system by selecting the
following items in sequence on the main
menu: “Settings”, “Driver Assistance” and
“Automatic Parking Brake”.
In addition to engaging the EPB, along with
steering and positioning chocks in front of the
wheels (when on a steep slope), you must
always place the vehicle in the PARK (P) mode
before leaving.
Should the vehicle battery be faulty, the
battery must be replaced in order to unlock the
EPB.
Engaging The EPB Manually
Briefly pull the switch located on the center
console to manually engage the EPB when the
vehicle is stationary.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the
vehicle when engaging the EPB.
A slight movement of the brake pedal may be
detected when engaging the EPB with the
brake pedal pressed.
With the EPB engaged, the BRAKE warning
light on the instrument cluster display and the
switch will illuminate.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the use
of the brake is required with the vehicle in
motion, keep the switch on the center console
pulled as long as the brake action is neces
-
sary.
The BRAKE warning light may turn on with the
hydraulic system temporarily unavailable; in
this case, braking is controlled by the motors.
The brake lights will also automatically turn on
in the same way as normal braking with the
use of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center console to
stop the braking action with the vehicle in
motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is
braked until a speed below 1.9 mph (3 km/h)
is reached and the switch is kept pulled, the
parking brake will definitively engage.
NOTE:
Driving the vehicle with the EPB engaged, or
using it several times to slow down the vehicle,
may cause severe damage to the braking
system.
CAUTION!
With the Electronic Parking Brake failure
warning light on, some functions of the EPB
are deactivated. In this case the driver is
responsible for brake activation and vehicle
parking in complete safety conditions.
