Vehicle Security Light
This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle security alarm

Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch.This mode is intended
for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired.It is also intended for driv-
ing in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction.To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
switch again.This will restore the normal ESC On mode of operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on
public roadways.In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF, except
for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section.To enter the “Full Off ” mode,
depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds.After five seconds, the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message will display in the EVIC.To turn
ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF switch.
- Park/Headlight ON Indicator

minate momentarily.If the warning light stays on, cycle the ignition to the OFF position
and back to ON/RUN.If the warning light stays on, contact your authorized dealer.
If the warning light switches on while driving, you may not have steering assistance.Al-
though it will still be possible to steer the car, the effort needed to operate the steering
wheel could be increased: contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to “Mainte-
nance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or applicable
supplement on the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system.The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in
the instrument cluster.This means that service is required for your vehicle.Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is
displayed.Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change.If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off
road environment.This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
•Check engine oil level.
•Check windshield washer fluid level.
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, and brake master cylinder reservoir, and
fill as needed.
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights.
