If the Light is Flashing
The following can prevent more serious damage to your
vehicle:
Reduce vehicle speed.
Avoid hard accelerations.
Avoid steep uphill grades.
If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of
cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible.
If the light stops ashing and remains on steady,
see “If the Light Is On Steady” following.
If the light continues to ash, when it is safe to do so,
stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle.
Turn the ignition off, wait at least 10 seconds, and restart
the engine. If the light remains on steady, see “If the
Light Is On Steady” following. If the light is still ashing,
follow the previous steps and see your dealer/retailer
for service as soon as possible.
If the Light Is On Steady
You might be able to correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:
Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle?
If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully
install the cap. SeeFilling the Tank on page 5-8.
The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel caphas been left off or improperly installed. A loose or
missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light off.
Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water?
If so, your vehicle’s electrical system might be wet.
The condition is usually corrected when the electrical
system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the
light off.
Have you recently changed brands of fuel?
If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See
Gasoline Octane on page 5-6. Poor fuel quality causes
the engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You
might notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when
you put the vehicle into gear, mis ring, hesitation on
acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration — these
conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up.
This will be detected by the system and cause the light to
turn on.
If you experience one or more of these conditions,
change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least
one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off.
If none of the above steps have made the light turn off,
your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. Your dealer/
retailer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic
tools to x any mechanical or electrical problems that
might have developed.

Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage shows about how
much fuel is in the fuel tank.
When the indicator nears empty, the low fuel light
will comes on. There still is a little fuel left, but you
should get more soon. SeeLow Fuel Warning Light
on page 3-42for more information.Four things that can happen but do not mean the fuel
gage is not functioning properly are:
At the service station, the fuel pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than the
fuel gage indicates.
The gage moves a little when the vehicle turns a
corner or accelerates.
The gage takes a few seconds to stabilize after the
ignition is turned on, and goes back to empty after
the ignition is turned off.
For the fuel tank capacity, seeCapacities and
Specifications on page 5-98. United States

STABILITRAK OFF
This message displays any time the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) turns off. When this message has been
displayed, the system is no longer available to assist
you with directional control of the vehicle. Adjust your
driving accordingly. SeeElectronic Stability Program
on page 4-8.
This message displays only while the ignition is in
ON/RUN.
Any of the following conditions may cause the system to
turn off:
The system is turned off by pressing and holding
the ESP/TCS button. SeeElectronic Stability
Program on page 4-8for more information.
The battery is low.
There is a system failure. See your dealer/retailer
for service.
TIGHTEN GAS CAP
This message may display along with the check engine
light on the instrument panel cluster if the vehicle’s fuel
cap is not tightened properly. SeeMalfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-36. Reinstall the fuel cap fully. See
Filling the Tank on page 5-8. The diagnostic system can
determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly
installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to
evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with
the cap properly installed should turn this light and
message off.
TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE
This message displays when the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) is re-learning the tire positions on
your vehicle. The tire positions must be re-learned after
rotating the tires or after replacing a tire or sensor.
SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on page 5-58,
Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-54, and
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-52for more
information.
