and Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal
that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and stays on
while driving, or when one of the
gauges shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

sensing and diagnostic module. For
more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System 066.
The airbag readiness light comes on
for several seconds when the vehicle is
started. If the light does not come on
then, have it fixed immediately.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in the
vehicle might not inflate in a crash,
or they could even inflate without a
crash. To help avoid injury, have
the vehicle serviced right away.
If there is a problem with the airbag
system, a Driver Information Center
(DIC) message may also come on.
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger sensing
system. See Passenger Sensing System
0 72 for important safety information.
The overhead console has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
United States and Canada
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator will
light ON and OFF, and the symbols for
on and off, for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after several more
seconds, the status indicator will light
either ON or OFF, and the symbol for
on or off, to let you know the status of
the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag. If the word ON, and the on symbol,
are lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag is
allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF, and the off symbol,
are lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off the
front outboard passenger frontal
airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, if there are
no lights at all, or if the airbag
readiness light is on, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See your
dealer for service right away.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have

Caution (Continued)
.Do not tow a trailer during
break-in. SeeTrailer Towing 0340
for the trailer towing capabilities
of the vehicle and more
information.
Following break-in, engine speed
and load can be gradually
increased.
On new vehicles, the various
mechanical and electrical systems
experience a “break-in”period during
the first 6 400 km (4,000 mi) of
routine driving. As the vehicle is
driven, the mechanical systems adjust
to provide optimal fuel economy and
transmission shift performance.
Electrical systems will adapt and
calibrate during the break-in period.
A one-time occurrence of clicks and
similar vehicle noises is normal during
this process.
Normal driving charges the vehicle’s
battery to achieve the best operation
of the vehicle, including fuel economy
and the Stop/Start System. See Stop/
Start System 0249.
Ignition Positions
Vehicles equipped with Keyless Access
have pushbutton starting.
The Remote Key must be in the
vehicle for the system to operate.
If the pushbutton start is not working,
the vehicle may be near a strong radio
antenna signal causing interference to
the Keyless Access system. See Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation
0 7.
To shift out of P (Park), the ignition
must be on or in Service Mode, and
the brake pedal must be applied.
{Warning
Turning off the vehicle while
moving may cause loss of power

FCA also lights an amber visual alert
if following another vehicle much too
closely. FCA detects vehicles within a distance
of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect
vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all
speeds. See
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0275.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0232.

Adjust the instrument panel
brightness to make the image no
brighter than necessary. Turn the
image off by selecting another view
on the instrument cluster. The night
vision image brightness and contrast
can be adjusted individually using the
touchscreen to the left of the
instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as pedestrians,
animals, and other moving vehicles,
should appear whiter on the Night
Vision display. Cold objects, such as
the sky, signs, and parked vehicles,
should appear darker. Night Vision
only shows objects that are warmer or
colder than the surroundings. It does
not detect brake lamps, turn signals,
emergency flashers, traffic lights,
or sign information.
Use this system as an aid by
occasionally glancing at the image. Do
not stare at the image or use the
image under well-lit conditions.{Warning
Do not stare at the image while
driving as this might cause
important objects ahead not to be
seen. You could crash, and you or
others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large animal is
detected, a yellow box will be drawn
around it. With the vehicle moving
when the pedestrian or animal may be
in the vehicle path, an amber box
displays around the pedestrian or
animal on the Night Vision display
and an amber pedestrian icon,
~,
or animal icon,
!, displays on the
instrument cluster. This pedestrian
icon is also shown on the Head-Up
Display (HUD). When the system
detects the vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian or large animal too quickly,
the amber pedestrian icon or animal
icon and amber box turns red, and a
red flashing icon,
~or!, displays on
the HUD with rapid beeping or
pulsing of the Safety Alert Seat,
if equipped. System pedestrian icons, beeps, and
(if equipped) Safety Alert Seat pulses
