Traction Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak Light
This light comes on briefly when the vehicle
is turned on.
If the light does not come on, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer. If the
system is working normally, the indicator
light turns off.
If the light is on and not flashing, the TCS
and potentially the StabiliTrak/ESC system
are not fully operational and may not assist
in maintaining control. Adjust driving
accordingly. If the condition persists, see
your dealer as soon as possible. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) message may
display.
The light flashes when the TCS and/or the
StabiliTrak/ESC system is actively working.
SeeTraction Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0175.
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS), this light comes on briefly
when the vehicle is started. It provides
information about tire pressures and
the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of the tires
are significantly underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC) tire

soon as possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See Tire Pressure
0 243.
When the Light Flashes First and Then Is On
Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute and
then stays on, there may be a problem with
the TPMS. If the problem is not corrected, the light will come on at every ignition
cycle. See

Programmable Charging
Important Information about Portable Electric
Vehicle Charging
.Charging an electric vehicle can stress a
building’s electrical system more than a
typical household appliance.
.Before plugging into any electrical outlet,
have a qualified electrician inspect and
verify the electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and protection
devices) for heavy-duty service at a
12 amp continuous load.
.Electrical outlets may wear out with
normal usage or may be damaged over
time, making them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
.Check the electrical outlet/plug while
charging and discontinue use if the
electrical outlet/plug is hot, then have the
electrical outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
.When outdoors, plug into an electrical
outlet that is weatherproof while in use.
.Mount the charging cord to reduce strain
on the electrical outlet/plug.
.Do not place the charge cord in a position
where it is expected to be submerged in
water.
{Danger
Improper use of portable electric vehicle
charge cords may cause a fire, electrical
shock, or burns, and may result in
damage to property, serious injury,
or death.
.Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips, splitters,
grounding adaptors, surge protectors,
or similar devices.
.Do not use an electrical outlet that is
worn or damaged, or will not hold the
plug firmly in place.
.Do not use an electrical outlet that is
not properly grounded.
.Do not use an electrical outlet that is
on a circuit with other electrical loads.

Propulsion Power Messages
PROPULSION POWER IS REDUCED
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the ignition has been off for
30 seconds.
PROPULSION POWER REDUCED DUE TO

There is a sensor near the top center of the
windshield that automatically controls the
system.
Keep this area of the windshield clear of
debris to allow for best system performance. The high-beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:

damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle‘s lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.

or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
.Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The IntelliBeam system may need to be
