If the light is flashing :A malfunction has
been detected that could damage the
emission control system and increase vehicle
emissions. Diagnosis and service may be
required.
To help prevent damage, reduce vehicle
speed and avoid hard accelerations and
uphill grades. If towing a trailer, reduce the
amount of cargo being hauled as soon as
possible.
If the light continues to flash, find a safe
place to park. Turn the vehicle off and wait
at least 10 seconds before restarting the
engine. If the light is still flashing, follow
the previous guidelines and see your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
If the light is on steady : A malfunction has
been detected. Diagnosis and service may be
required.
Check the following:
.If fuel has been added to the vehicle
using the capless fuel funnel adapter,
make sure that it has been removed. See
“Filling the Tank with a Portable Gas Can”
under Filling the Tank 0303. The
diagnostic system can detect if the
adapter has been left installed in the
vehicle, allowing fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with
the adapter removed may turn off the
light.
.Poor fuel quality can cause inefficient
engine operation and poor driveability,
which may go away once the engine is
warmed up. If this occurs, change the fuel
brand. It may require at least one full
tank of the proper fuel to turn the light
off. See
Recommended Fuel 0302.
If the light remains on, see your dealer.
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
If the vehicle requires an Emissions
Inspection/Maintenance test, the test
equipment will likely connect to the
vehicle's Data Link Connector (DLC).
The DLC is under the instrument panel to
the left of the steering wheel. Connecting
devices that are not used to perform an
Emissions Inspection/Maintenance test or to service the vehicle may affect vehicle
operation. See
Add-On Electrical Equipment
0 334. See your dealer if assistance is
needed.
The vehicle may not pass inspection if:
.The light is on when the engine is
running.
.The light does not come on when the
ignition is in Service Mode.
.Critical emission control systems have not
been completely diagnosed. If this
happens, the vehicle would not be ready
for inspection and might require
several days of routine driving before the
system is ready for inspection. This can
happen if the 12-volt battery has recently
been replaced or run down, or if the
vehicle has been recently serviced.
See your dealer if the vehicle will not pass
or cannot be made ready for the test.

current trip, touch and hold the touchscreen
display when trip odometer is displayed.
The Average Fuel Economy display shows
the approximate average liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per
gallon (mpg). This number is calculated
based on the number of L/100 km (mpg)
recorded since the last time this menu item
was reset. This number reflects only the
approximate average fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now, and will change as
driving conditions change. The Average Fuel
Economy can be reset along with the trip
odometer by touching and holding the
touchscreen display when trip odometer is
displayed. Left Zone
Time/Date :

the center of the gauge. Inefficient driving is
shown by a yellow ball above the center of
the gauge. Aggressive braking is shown by a
yellow ball below the center of the gauge.
Average Speed : Shows the average speed
of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various vehicle
speeds recorded since the last reset of this
value. The average speed can be reset by
touching reset in vehicle information screen.
Traffic Sign Memory : If equipped, the
detected speed limit is displayed in the
lower left of the speedometer gauge. If an
additional sign is detected with the speed
limit sign a
1symbol is displayed. Additionally, the current detected traffic sign

138 Lighting
There is a delay in the transition between
the daytime and nighttime operation of the
automatic headlamp system so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead street
lights does not affect the system. The
automatic headlamp system is only affected
when the light sensor detects a change in
lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once the vehicle leaves the
garage, there is a slight delay for the
automatic headlamp system to change if it
is bright enough outside. During that delay,
the instrument cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright
position. SeeInstrument Panel Illumination
Control 0140.
To idle the vehicle with the automatic
headlamp system off, turn the control to
the off position.
The headlamps will also stay on after you
exit the vehicle.
The regular headlamp system can be turned
on when needed.Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are activated in
daylight with the engine on, and the
exterior lamp control is in AUTO, the
headlamps, parking lamps, and other
exterior lamps come on. The transition time
for the lamps coming on varies based on
wiper speed. When the wipers are not
operating, these lamps turn off. Move the
exterior lamp control to
Por;to
disable this feature.
Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL)
If equipped with the AFL system, the
high-beam headlamps move horizontally
while turning the steering wheel to provide
greater road illumination around curves.
To activate AFL, set the exterior lamp
control to the Auto or
2position, and
Adaptive Headlight system is active. See
Exterior Lamp Controls 0134. To adjust the AFL setting, go to the
infotainment home screen and select
Settings > Vehicle > Lighting.
Moving the exterior lamp controls out of the
Auto or
2position will deactivate the
system. The high-beam headlamps can move
horizontally when the vehicle speed is
greater than 3 km/h (2 mph). Headlamps will
not move horizontally when the
transmission is in R (Reverse).
If equipped, the AFL system automatically
modifies the low-beam lighting patterns to
the situation to enable optimal light
performance for the driver. Light distribution
and intensity of low-beam light are
controlled based on exterior lighting
conditions, vehicle location, and driving
situations.
Town Light
If equipped, the town light activates
automatically at a speed of 30 km/h
(18 mph) up to 55 km/h (34 mph).

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrow on the instrument cluster flashes
in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Move the turn signal lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever for less than
one second until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. This causes the turn
signals to automatically flash three times.
It will flash six times if Tow/Haul Mode is
active. Holding the turn signal lever for
more than one second will cause the turn
signals to flash until the lever is released.
The lever returns to its starting position
whenever it is released.
If after signaling a turn or a lane change the
arrows flash rapidly or do not come on, a
signal bulb could be burned out.Replace any burned out bulbs. If a bulb is
not burned out, check the fuse. See
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers 0360.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more than
1.2 km (0.75 mi), a chime sounds at each
flash of the turn signal. The message TURN
SIGNAL ON will also appear in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). To turn the chime
and message off, move the turn signal lever
to the off position.
Cornering Lamps
If equipped with cornering lamps, they
automatically come on when all of the
following occur:
.The low-beam headlamps are on.
.The turn signals are activated or the
steering wheel is at a turning angle.
.The vehicle speed is below 40 km/h
(25 mph).
