Adaptive Cruise Control
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read
this entire section before using it.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject
to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
Adaptive Cruise Control is an enhancement to
traditional cruise control and is not a safety
system. It allows you to keep cruise control
engaged in moderate traffic conditions without
having to constantly reset your cruise control.
Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar to detect a
vehicle directly ahead in your path, within a
distance of 328 ft (100 m), and operates at speeds
above 25 mph (40 km/h). When it is engaged by
the driver, the system can apply limited braking or
acceleration of the vehicle, automatically, to
maintain a selected follow distance to the vehicle
ahead. The vehicle’s braking during Adaptive
Cruise Control is comparable to a person applying
moderate pressure to the vehicle’s brake pedal.

Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light
With the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS),
this light will come
on when your engine is
started and may stay
on for several seconds.
That is normal.
If the ABS warning light comes on and stays on,
there may be a problem with the antilock portion of
the brake system. If the brake system warning
light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not
have antilock brakes. SeeBrake System Warning
Light on page 248for more information.
If the light stays on, press the ignition Acc. button.
If the light comes on when you are driving, stop
as soon as possible and turn the ignition off.
Then start the engine again to reset the system.
If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you are driving, your vehicle needs service.
If the regular brake system warning light is not
on, you still have brakes, but you do not have
anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake systemwarning light is also on, you do not have anti-lock
brakes and there is a problem with your regular
brakes. SeeBrake System Warning Light on
page 248for more information.
The ABS warning light should come on briey
when you turn the ignition on. If the light does not
come on then, have it xed so it will be ready
to warn you if there is a problem.
Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
This light will come on
briey as you start the
engine, for vehicles
equipped with the
Tire Pressure
Monitor System.
This light will also come on when one or more of
your tires are signicantly underinated.
249

A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE DIC message will
accompany the light. Stop and check your tires as
soon as it is safe to do so. If underinated,
inate to the proper pressure. See Tires for more
information. This light will ash for approximately
60 seconds and then turn on solid if a problem
is detected with the Tire Pressure Monitor system.
SeeTire Pressure Monitor System on page 433,
Tires on page 421andDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 264for more information.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
If the Traction
Control (TC) warning
light comes on and
stays on, there may be
a problem with the
traction control system.The TC warning light will come on briey when
you turn the engine on. If it does not come on then,
have it xed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
The light will also come on if you turn the traction
control system off using the TC on/off button
located on the console.
If the TC warning light stays on or comes on while
you are driving, pull off the road as soon as
possible and stop carefully. Turn your engine off
and then restart it. If the light still stays on or
comes back on again while you are driving, your
vehicle needs service. Have the traction control
system inspected as soon as possible. See
Traction Control System (TCS) on page 323and
StabiliTrak®System on page 326for more
information.
Also seeCompetitive Driving Mode (STS-V) on
page 325for more information.

13.2 BATTERY VOLTS. If the voltage is low, the
display will have LOW after it. If the voltage is high,the display will have HIGH after it. Your vehicle’s
charging system regulates voltage based on
the state of the battery. The battery voltage may
uctuate when viewing this information on the DIC.
This is normal. SeeCharging System Light on
page 247for more information.
If there is a problem with the battery charging
system, the DIC may display a message. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 264and
Electric Power Management on page 221for
more information.
Tire Pressure
If your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
system, this display shows the air pressure of
each road tire in either pounds per square
inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa). If the tire pressure
is normal, the value will display. If the tire
pressure is low, LOW will appear on the display
with the value. If the tire pressure is high,
HIGH will appear on the display with the value.

the driver’s side rear tire.
RR TIRE:This display shows the air pressure in
the passenger’s side rear tire.
If the tire pressure display shows dashes instead
of a value, there may be a problem with your
vehicle. If this consistently occurs, see your dealer
for service.
ENGINE OIL LIFE
If your vehicle has this display, it shows the
estimated oil life remaining. If you see
99% ENGINE OIL LIFE on the display, that means
that 99% of the current oil life remains.
When the oil life is depleted, the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the
display. Change the oil as soon as possible.
In addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance
is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in
this manual. SeeScheduled Maintenance on
page 505andEngine Oil on page 380.After an oil change, reset the ENGINE OIL LIFE
display. To reset, seeEngine Oil Life System on
page 383. The display will show 100% ENGINE OIL
LIFE after it has been reset. Also clear the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message from the
display.

Oil on page 380andScheduled Maintenance on
page 505for more information.
When you reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message by clearing it from the display,
you still must reset the engine oil life system
separately. For more information on resetting the
engine oil life system, seeEngine Oil Life
System on page 383.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
This message displays if the ignition is on to
inform the driver that the brake uid level is low.
Have the brake system serviced by your dealer as
soon as possible. SeeBrake System Warning
Light on page 248for more information.
CHECK GAS CAP
This message displays when the fuel cap has not
been fully tightened. Recheck the fuel cap to
ensure that it is on and tightened properly.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
If your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
system, this message displays when the tire
pressure in one of the tires needs to be checked.
SeeDIC Controls and Displays on page 258
for more information on checking your vehicle’s
tire pressures. If a tire pressure message appears
on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the
tire pressures checked and set to those shown on

This message displays when there is a problem
with the transmission of your vehicle. Have
your vehicle serviced by your dealer.
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
This message displays when a non-emissions
related malfunction occurs. Have your vehicle
serviced by your dealer as soon as possible.
SPEED LIMITED TO XXX

limited to XXX, mph in English mode and km/h
in Metric mode, because the vehicle detects
a problem in the suspension system. Have your
vehicle serviced by your dealer.
STABILITY SYS (System) ACTIVE
This message displays any time the StabiliTrak®
System is actively assisting you with directional
control of the vehicle. Slippery road conditions may
exist when this message is displayed, so adjust
your driving accordingly. This message may
