Yellow Telltale
Light What It Means
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic
System called OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The
light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb
does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked
promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate
the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through sev-
eral typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert serious conditions that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be ser-
viced as soon as possible if this occurs.

WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced
above, can reach higher temperatures than in nor-
mal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if
you drive slowly or park over flammable sub-
stances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc.
This could result in death or serious injury to the
driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect fuel economy
and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe
catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon
occur. Immediate service is required.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle may be equipped with an Instrument
Cluster Display, which offers useful information to the
driver. With the ignition in the STOP/OFF position (and
the key removed, for vehicles with mechanical key),
opening/closing of a door will activate the display for
viewing, and display the total miles or kilometers in the
odometer. Your Instrument Cluster Display is designed
to display important information about your vehicle’s
systems and features. Using a driver interactive display
located on the instrument panel, your Instrument Clus-
ter Display can show you how systems are working and
give you warnings when they aren’t. The steering wheel
mounted controls allow you to scroll through and enter
the main menus and submenus. You can access the
specific information you want and make selections and
adjustments.

located in the center of the instrument cluster.The system display consists of the following:
•

proximately 5 seconds after a single chime has sounded
to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The
engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based,

Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, push and
release the
MENU

mation such as trip information, range, fuel consump-
tion, average speed, and travel time).
