–BrakeWarningLight
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake appli-
cation. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake
fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the
full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunc-
tion or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will
run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of
the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake
Wa r n i n g L i g h t , w h i c h w i l l t u r n o n w h e n t h e b r a k e f l u i d l e v e l i n t h e m a s t e r c y l i n d e r h a s d r o p p e d
below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn
on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately two
seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the vehicle
checked immediately.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The
vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most
situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
128

If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do not
operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
–ElectronicStabilityControl(ESC)OFFIndicatorLight
This light indicates the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is off.
Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light remains
on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.

serviced immediately.
–OilPressureWarningLight
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound when this light turns on.
We r e c o m m e n d y o u d o n o t o p e r a t e t h e v e h i c l e o r e n g i n e d a m a g e w i l l o c c u r. H a v e t h e v e h i c l e
serviced immediately.
–Anti-LockBrake(ABS)Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
If the light is not on during starting, stays on or turns on while driving, we recommend you contact
the nearest authorized dealer and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
–ElectronicThrottleControl(ETC)IndicatorLight
This light informs you of a problem with the system.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition
when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the
light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see
an authorized dealer immediately. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate
service is required, and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or
engine stall, and your vehicle may require towing.
–AirBagWarningLight
If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced
by an authorized dealer immediately.
SERVICE AWD SYSTEM Message
If the SERVICE AWD SYSTEM warning message appears after engine start up, or during
driving, it means the AWD system is not functioning properly. We recommend you do not
operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

–ElectronicStabilityControl(ESC)OFFIndicatorLight
This light indicates the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is off.
–DoorAjarIndicator
This indicator will illuminate when a door(s) is left ajar and not fully closed.
–SportShifting
This light will illuminate whenSPORT MODEis selected. Sport Mode will provide improved
throttle response and modified shifting for an enhanced driving experience as well as the greatest
amount of steering feel. (SPORT MODEwill enable AWD (if equipped) in the AWD Sport
mode providing an enhanced AWD driving performance).

message will display for 5 seconds along with a single chime to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style.
Resetting The Light After Servicing
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the
ignition to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the
ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did
not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
NOTE:
Resetting the oil life can also be done within the "Oil Life" menu under “Vehicle Info.”

Jacking And Changing A Tire
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench.
2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where
the center cap covers the lug nuts, use the
lug wrench to pry the center cap off care-
fully before raising the vehicle.
3. Before raising the vehicle, use the lug
wrench to loosen, but not remove, the lug
nuts on the wheel with the flat tire. Turn the
lug nuts counterclockwise one turn while the
wheel is still on the ground.
4. Place the jack underneath the lift area that is
closest to the flat tire. Turn the jack screw
clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before activating the Manual
Park Release. Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll away if it is not
secured by the parking brake or by proper connection to a tow vehicle. Activating the Manual
Park Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in or
around the vehicle.
In order to push or tow the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK (such
as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available.
Follow these steps to use the Manual Park Release:
1. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the console storage bin to access the Manual Park Release lever.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, fish the tether strap up through the opening in the
console base.
4. Insert the screwdriver into the slot in the center of the lever, and disengage the lever locking
tab by pushing it to the right.
5. While holding the locking tab in the disengaged position, pull the tether strap to rotate the
lever up and rearward, until it locks in place in the vertical position. The vehicle is now out of
