21. Front Fog Light IndicatorThis indicator will illuminate
when the front fog lights are
on.
22. Vehicle Security Light This light will flash rapidly
for approximately 16 sec-
onds when the alarm sys-
tem is arming. The light
will begin to flash slowly indicating
that the system is armed. The light
will stop flashing when the vehicle is
disarmed.
23. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light This light monitors the
ABS. This light will come
on when the ignition key is
turned to the ON/RUN po-
sition and may stay on for approxi-
mately three seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or comes
on during driving, it indicates that the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake sys-
tem is not functioning and that service
is required, however, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate
normally provided that the BRAKE
warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake sys-
tem should be serviced as soon as
possible to restore the benefit of Anti-
Lock Brakes.
The ABS warning light should be
checked frequently to assure that it is
operating properly. Turn the ignition
key to the on position, but do not start
the vehicle. The light should come on.
If the light does not come on, have the
system inspected by an authorized
dealer.
24. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Malfunction Indicator Light
The “ESC Malfunction In-
dicator Light” in the instru-
ment cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON/RUN position. It
should go out with the engine run-
ning. If the “ESC Malfunction Indica-
tor Light” comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunc-
tion has been detected in the ESC
system. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle
has been driven several miles (kilo-
meters) at speeds greater than
48 km/h, see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the prob-
lem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
 The “ESC Off Indicator Light”
and the “ESC Malfunction Indi-
cator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN.
 Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will
be ON, even if it was turned off
previously.
 The ESC system will make buzz- ing or clicking sounds when it is
active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC be-
comes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESC
activation.
25. Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light Each tire, including the
spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the in-
flation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure la-112

bel. (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 ve-
hicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Ac-
cordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, 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 reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stop-
ping ability.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 thelevel 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 oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the tell-
tale will flash for approximately one
minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-
ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replace-
ment 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 properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Un-
desirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of
the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage. Do not use tire sealant from
a can or balance beads if your ve-
hicle is equipped with a TPMS, as
damage to the sensors may result.
26. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system
called OBD that monitors
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. The
light will illuminate when the key is in
the ON/RUN position before engine
start. If the bulb does not come on
when turning the key from LOCK to
ON/RUN, have the condition checked
promptly.

your seat, adjust the inside and out-
side mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and
if present, instruct all other occupants
to buckle their seat belts.WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob from the igni-
tion and lock your vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a
vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle. Allowing children
to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the
ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN
position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle. AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
The shift lever must be in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position before you can
start the engine. Apply the brakes be-
fore shifting to any driving gear.
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be in the
ON position, and you must press
the brake pedal before shifting out
of PARK.
NORMAL STARTING
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or
a warm engine is obtained without
pumping or pressing the accelera-
tor pedal.
Turn the ignition switch to the START
position and release it as soon as the
starter engages. The starter motor will
continue to run, and it will disengage
automatically when the engine is run-
ning. If the engine fails to start, the
starter will disengage automatically in
10 seconds. If this occurs, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position,
wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the
“Normal Starting” procedure. IF ENGINE FAILS TO
START
WARNING!

mable liquids into the throttle
body air inlet opening in an at-
tempt to start the vehicle. This
could result in a flash fire causing
serious personal injury.
 Do not attempt to push or tow
your vehicle to get it started. Un-
burned fuel could enter the cata-
lytic converter and once the en-
gine has started, ignite and
damage the converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged
battery, booster cables may be
used to obtain a start from a
booster battery or the battery in
another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improp-
erly. Refer to “Jump Starting” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.

WARNING!(Continued)
 Unintended movement of a ve-
hicle could injure those in and
near the vehicle. As with all ve-
hicles, you should never exit a ve-
hicle while the engine is running.
Before exiting a vehicle, always
apply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, and re-
move the ignition key. Once the
key is removed, the shift lever is
locked in the PARK position, se-
curing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement. Furthermore,
you should never leave children
alone in a vehicle, or with access
to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could
be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake
pedal or the shift lever.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave a

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION IGNITION
INTERLOCK SYSTEMS
These systems prevent the key fob
from being removed unless the shift
lever is in PARK. They also prevent
shifting out of PARK unless the igni-
tion switch is in the ON/RUN position
and the brake pedal is applied.
KEY IGNITION PARK
INTERLOCK
This vehicle is equipped with a Key
Ignition Park Interlock which re-
quires the shift lever to be placed in
PARK before the ignition switch can
be turned to the LOCK/OFF position.
The key fob can only be removed from
the ignition when the ignition is in the LOCK/OFF position and once re-
moved the shift lever is locked in
PARK.
NOTE:
If a malfunction occurs, the system
will trap the key in the ignition
cylinder to warn you that this
safety feature is inoperable. The
engine can be started and stopped,
but the key cannot be removed un-
til you obtain service.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION

Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI)
that holds the shift lever in the PARK
position unless the brakes are applied.
To move the shift lever out of the
PARK position, the ignition switch
must be turned to the ON/RUN or
START position (engine running or
not) and the brake pedal must be
pressed.
136

WARNING!
 Never use the PARK position as asubstitute for the parking brake.
Always apply the parking brake
fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
 Your vehicle could move and in-
jure you and others if it is not
completely in PARK. Check by
trying to move the shift lever rear-
ward (with the brake pedal re-
leased) after you have placed it in
PARK. Make sure the transmis-
sion is in PARK before leaving the
vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 It is dangerous to move the shift
lever out of PARK or NEUTRAL if
the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not
firmly pressing on the brake
pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You
could lose control of the vehicle
and hit someone or something.
Only shift into gear when the en-
gine is idling normally and your
foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.
 Unintended movement of a ve-
hicle could injure those in or near
the vehicle. As with all vehicles,
you should never exit a vehicle
while the engine is running. Be-
fore exiting a vehicle, always ap-
ply the parking brake, shift the
transmission into PARK, and re-
move the ignition key. Once the
key is removed, the shift lever is
locked in the PARK position, se-
curing the vehicle against un-
wanted movement.
