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 carefully in all
cases. Always refer to the information 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.

(Continued)
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 position. 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 application. 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 pulsation 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.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic
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.
WARNING!
If the warning light does not turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position or
if it stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), there might be a
malfunction in the restraint systems; This
could mean the air bags or pretensioners
may not deploy in the event of an accident or,
they could deploy erroneously. This could
result in serious injuries or death. Have the
vehicle checked by qualified technician
immediately.
Driving a vehicle with a red Brake Warning
Light on is dangerous. Part of the brake
system may have failed. It will take longer to
stop the vehicle in such circumstances. This
could result in a collision and serious injuries
or death. Have the vehicle checked by a
qualified technician immediately.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Failure
The simultaneous turning on of the
BRAKE (red) and ABS (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.
Oil Temperature Warning Light
This warning light indicates engine oil
temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon
as possible. If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
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, front, or rear passenger seat belt
remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will flash or remain on continuously and a chime
will sound

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 required.
However, the conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the red Brake
Warning Light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be
serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS light does
not turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN position, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.

Indicator Light — If Equipped
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, but should
turn off as soon as the engine is started.
ESC System Intervention : Intervention by the
system is indicated by the flashing of the
indicator light: it indicates that the vehicle is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC System Failure: If the indicator light does not
turn off, or if it stays on with the engine running,
a failure was found in the ESC system.
Hill Start Assist System Failure : The illumination
of the indicator light indicates a Hill Start Assist
system failure.
In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light — If Equipped

Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)
In normal conditions, when the ignition
is cycled to ON, the indicator light
illuminates, but it should turn off as
soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the indicator light may be
checked by the traffic police using specific
devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of
the country where you are driving.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
traveling at moderate speed but without
demanding excessive effort from the engine or
high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the
indicator light on constantly may cause damage.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System
This indicator light informs the driver
that the frontal collision alarm function
is not enabled.
Drive carefully and contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
Fuel Reserve/Limited Range
The indicator light (or the symbol in
the display) illuminates when about
2.4 gallons (9 liters) of fuel is left in
the tank.
Rear Fog Lights
The indicator illuminates when the
rear fog light is activated.
Tire Pressure Low Warning Light
The indicator light will illuminate 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.
In any situation in which the message on the
display is “See Manual”

Ú
page 155.
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
previously mentioned, 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 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 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. 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 pressure. Driving
on a significantly underinflated 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!
If, turning the ignition device to ON, the
warning light does not turn on or if it turns
on steadily or flashing while driving (on some
versions together with the message on the
display), immediate service is required.
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION!
If the warning light on the display flashes while
driving, contact an authorized dealer.
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.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
GREEN INDICATOR LIGHTS
Automatic High Beam Indicator Light —
If Equipped
This indicator light will illuminate when
the automatic high beam headlights are
activated.
Left Turn Signal Indicator Light
The instrument cluster directional arrow
will flash independently for the left turn
signal as selected, as well as the
exterior turn signal lamp(s) (front and
rear) as selected when the multifunction lever is
moved down (left). This directional arrow will
flash in conjunction with the right directional
arrow when the hazard warning light button is
pushed.
Parking/Headlights On Indicator Light
This indicator will illuminate when
the parking lights or headlights are
turned on.
Right Turn Signal Indicator Light
The instrument cluster directional arrow
will flash independently for the right
turn signal as selected, as well as the
exterior turn signal lamp(s) (front and
rear) as selected when the multifunction lever is
moved up (right). This directional arrow will flash
in conjunction with the left directional arrow
when the hazard warning light button is pushed.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may
result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants
may cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor to become inoperable.
After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to an
authorized dealership to have your sensor
function checked.
