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.

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.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.
This system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic transmis -
sion control systems. When these systems
are operating properly, your vehicle will
provide excellent performance and fuel
economy, as well as emissions well within
current government regulations. If any of these systems require service, the
OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diag
-
nostic codes and other information to assist
your service technician in making repairs.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard
Diagnostic system (OBD II) and a connection
port to allow access to information related to
the performance of your emissions controls. Authorized service technicians may need to
access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
For further information, refer to “Cybersecu
-
rity” in “Multimedia”.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle
must be serviced before any emissions
tests can be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter
damage and power loss will soon occur.
Immediate service is required.
WARNING!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected
to the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems, including safety related systems,could be impaired or a loss of vehicle
control could occur that may result in
an accident involving serious injury
or death.
Access, or allow others to access, information stored in your vehicle
systems, including personal informa-
tion.

STARTING AND OPERATING
152
ACC will allow you to keep cruise control
engaged in light to moderate traffic condi-
tions without the constant need to reset your
cruise control. ACC utilizes a radar sensor
and a forward facing camera designed to
detect a vehicle directly ahead of you.
NOTE:
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set
speed.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or acceler -
ation (not to exceed the original set speed)
automatically to maintain a preset
following distance, while matching the
speed of the vehicle ahead.
To Activate/Deactivate
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button. The ACC menu in the
instrument cluster display will read “ACC
