the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
This warning light should come on
briefly when the vehicle is turned on.
If the light does not come on, have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn if
there is a problem.
If the light comes on while driving,
safely stop as soon as it is possible
and turn off the vehicle. Then turn on
the vehicle again to reset the system.
If the ABS warning light stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the
vehicle needs service. A chime may
also sound when the light stays on. If the ABS warning light is the only
light on, the vehicle has regular
brakes, but ABS is not functioning.
If both the ABS warning light and the
brake system warning light are on,
ABS is not functioning and there is a
problem with the regular brakes. See
your dealer for service.
See
Brake System Warning Light 0110.
Performance Shifting Light
If equipped, this light may display
when Sport Mode is activated and
certain driving conditions are met.
Sport Mode detects when the vehicle
is being driven in a competitive
manner, and adjusts the shifting of
the gears accordingly. The color of this
light may change based on how
competitively the vehicle is being
driven. See Driver Mode Control 0185.
Automatic Vehicle Hold

This light comes on when AVH is
actively holding the vehicle. See

is turned on, but not ready to assist.
This light is green if LKA is turned on
and is ready to assist.
LKA may assist by gently turning the
steering wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane marking.
The LKA light is amber when
assisting.
This light flashes amber as a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert, to
indicate that the lane marking has
been crossed.
LKA will not assist or alert if the turn
signal is active in the direction of lane
departure, or if LKA detects that you
are accelerating, braking, or actively
steering.
SeeLane Keep Assist (LKA) 0222.
Vehicle Ahead Indicator
If equipped, this indicator will display
green when a vehicle is detected
ahead and amber when you are
following a vehicle ahead much too
closely.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0214.
Pedestrian Ahead Indicator
If equipped, this indicator will display
amber when a nearby pedestrian is
detected in front of the vehicle.
See Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System 0218.
Traction Off Light
This light comes on briefly while
starting the engine. If it does not,
have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer. If the system is working
normally, the indicator light then
turns off.
The traction off light comes on when
the Traction Control System (TCS) has
been turned off by pressing and
releasing the TCS/StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
button.
This light and the StabiliTrak OFF
light come on when StabiliTrak/ESC is
turned off.
If the TCS is off, wheel speed will be
limited when necessary to protect the
driveline from damage. Adjust driving
accordingly.
