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 malfunction 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 indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci -
fied level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.

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
four seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illumi -
nate, have the light inspected by an autho -
rized 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.
Battery Charge Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate
when the battery is not charging
properly. If it stays on while the
engine is running, there may be a malfunc -
tion with the charging system. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the
electrical system or a related component.

Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Warning
Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL) is a part of an
Onboard Diagnostic System called
OBD II that monitors engine and automatic
transmission control systems. This warning
light will illuminate when the ignition is in
the ON/RUN position before engine start. If
the bulb does not come on when turning the
ignition switch 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 several 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 serviced by an authorized dealer
as soon as possible if this occurs.
AdBlue® (UREA) Injection System Failure
Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate
along with a dedicated message on
the display (If Equipped) if an
unknown fluid not conforming with accept -able characteristics is inserted, or if an
average consumption of AdBlue® (UREA)
over 50% is detected. Contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
If the problem is not solved, a specific
message will appear on the Instrument
Cluster Display whenever a certain threshold
is reached until it will no longer be possible
to start the engine.
When about 125 miles (200 km) are
remaining before the AdBlue® (UREA) tank
is empty, a continuous dedicated message
will appear on the instrument panel, accom
-
panied by a buzzer sound (If Equipped).
Service Adaptive Cruise Control Warning
Light — If Equipped
This light will turn on when an ACC
is not operating and needs service.
Refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as
referenced above, can reach higher
temperatures than in normal operating
conditions. This can cause a fire if you
drive slowly or park over flammable
substances 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 vehicle 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.
