WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
IMPORTANT:The warning / indicator lights switch on in the instrument panel together
with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable.These indications are
indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which you are advised to
read carefully in all cases.Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a
failure indication.
All active telltales will display first if applicable.The system check menu may appear differ-
ent based upon equipment options and current vehicle status.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of warning and indicator telltales that
are either standard or optional based on the vehicle build.FCA reserves the right to
make changes in design and specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to
its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products previ-
ously manufactured.
Instrument Cluster Warning Lights
– Electric Vehicle System Warning Light
This indicator will illuminate when there is a malfunction in the Electric Vehicle System.If
the EVS malfunction light comes on while driving or charging see your authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
– Regenerative Brake System Warning Light
If the light turns on and remains on while driving, it suggests that there is a potential
problem with the Regenerative Brake System (RBS) and the need for system service.See
your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

– Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the ve-
hicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.(If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure.Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.Under-inflation also increases high voltage battery consump-
tion and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.
