Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you have pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for service. Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light With the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), the light will come on when your engine is started and stay on for several seconds. This is normal. If the ABS warning light comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the anti-lock portion of the brake system. If the brake system warning light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have anti-lock brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 204 for more information. If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. If the light comes on when you are driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again while you are driving, your vehicle needs service. 205 If the regular brake system warning light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes and there is a problem with your regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 204 for more information. The ABS warning light should come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light Your vehicle has a traction control system warning light. This light will come on when your traction control system is limiting wheel spin. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal. 206 If the traction control system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 281 for more information. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light This light tells you that your engine is very hot. This light will come on when you ﬁrst start the vehicle as a check to let you know that the light is working. It will go out after a few seconds. If the light does not come on, the bulb may be burned out. See your dealer to have it corrected. If the light does not go out or if the light comes on and stays on while you are driving, your vehicle may have a problem with the cooling system. You should stop the vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible to avoid damage to the engine. A warning chime will sound when this light is on, also. See Engine Overheating on page 372. Engine Coolant Temperature Gage This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. Tire Pressure Light If your vehicle has this light, it will come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition on. It can be used to see when your engine has warmed up and to make sure your cooling system is operating properly. If the gage pointer moves into the shaded area, the engine coolant is too hot and the engine coolant temperature warning light will come on. See Engine Overheating on page 372 for more information. This light will also come on when one or more of your tires are signiﬁcantly underinﬂated. A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE DIC message will accompany the light, see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 220 Stop and check your tires as soon as it is safe to do so. If underinﬂated, inﬂate to the proper pressure. See Tires on page 398 for more information. 207 This light will ﬂash for approximately 60 seconds and then turn on solid if a problem is detected with the Tire Pressure Monitor system. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 410 for more information. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light Your vehicle has a computer which monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. This system is called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended to assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. 208 If you keep driving your vehicle The check engine light comes on to indicate that there is a problem and service is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. This may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. Notice: with this light on, after awhile, the emission controls might not work as well, your vehicle’s fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by your warranty. Notice: Modiﬁcations made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of your vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect your vehicle’s emission controls and can cause this light to come on. Modiﬁcations to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty. This could also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 347. This light should come on, as a check to show you it is working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not running. If the light does not come on, have it repaired. This light will also come on during a malfunction in one of two ways: (cid:127) Light Flashing — A misﬁre condition has been detected. A misﬁre increases vehicle emissions and may damage the emission control system on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service may be required. (cid:127) Light On Steady — An emission control system malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service may be required. If the Light is Flashing The following may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle: (cid:127) Reducing vehicle speed (cid:127) Avoiding hard accelerations (cid:127) Avoiding steep uphill grades (cid:127) If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible If the light stops ﬂashing and remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light continues to ﬂash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park your vehicle. Turn the key 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 ﬂashing, follow the previous steps, and see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the Light Is On Steady You may 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. See Filling the Tank on page 352. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. 209 Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water? If so, your electrical system may be wet. The condition will usually be 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 349. Poor fuel quality will cause your engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You may notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put the vehicle into gear, misﬁring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. (These conditions may 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 can check the vehicle. Your dealer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to ﬁx any mechanical or electrical problems that may have developed. 210 Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or may begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on or not working properly. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced your battery or if your battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This may take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, your dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. Oil Pressure Light {CAUTION: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. If equipped, this light tells you if there could be a problem with your engine oil pressure. The light goes on when you turn your key to ON or START. It goes off once you start your engine. That’s a check to be sure the light works. If it doesn’t come on, be sure to have it ﬁxed so it will be there to warn you if something goes wrong. When the light comes on and stays on, it means that oil isn’t ﬂowing through your engine properly. You could be low on oil and you might have some other system problem. 211 Security Light Lights On Reminder For information regarding this light, see Theft-Deterrent System on page 112. This light comes on whenever the parking lamps are on. Fog Lamp Light The fog lamps light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. See Headlamps on Reminder on page 179 for more information. Cruise Control Light This light comes on whenever you set the cruise control. The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 181 for more information. The light goes out when the cruise control is turned off. See Cruise Control on page 174 for more information. 212 Highbeam On Light Fuel Gage This light comes on whenever the high-beam headlamps are on. The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. It works only when the engine is on. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 169 for more information. Tow/Haul Mode Light This light comes on when the Tow/Haul mode has been activated. For more information, see Tow/Haul Mode on page 126. If the fuel supply gets low, the “FUEL LEVEL LOW” message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a single chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 220 for more information. 213 All of the following situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage: (cid:127) At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. (cid:127) The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly or accelerate quickly. It takes a little more or less fuel to ﬁll the tank than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated that the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to ﬁll the tank. (cid:127) 214 Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display warning/status messages. All messages will appear in the DIC display located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle system information and the warning/status messages. The bottom line of the DIC display shows the odometer on the left side, the outside air temperature on the right side, and the shift position indicator in the center. For more information on the shift position indicator, see Automatic Transmission Operation on page 122. When the sport mode is active, an S will appear next to the shift position indicator on the center of the DIC display. When the manual mode is active, an M will appear on the DIC display. When the normal mode is active, only the shift position indicator will appear. While the Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature is active, the DIC will change to show the selected gear. See ″Driver Shift Control (DSC)″ under Automatic Transmission Operation on page 122 for more information. If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear on the display. Be sure to take any message that appears on the display seriously and remember that clearing the message will only make the message disappear, not correct the problem. DIC Controls and Displays The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different displays which can be accessed by pressing the DIC buttons located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. 3 Trip/Fuel: Press this button to scroll through the trip and fuel displays.

Trip/Fuel Display Menu Items 3 (Trip/Fuel): The following display menu items can be displayed by pressing the trip/fuel button: TRIP A or TRIP B These displays show the current distance traveled since the last reset for each trip odometer in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Both odometers can be used at the same time. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by pressing and holding the set/reset button for a few seconds while the desired trip odometer is displayed. 216 FUEL RANGE This display shows the approximate number of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you can drive without reﬁlling your fuel tank. This estimate is based on the current driving conditions and will change if the driving conditions change. For example, if you are driving in traffic and making frequent stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter the freeway, the number may change even though you still have the same amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. Once the range drops below about 30 miles (48 km) remaining, the display will show FUEL RANGE LOW. If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be displayed. See “FUEL LEVEL LOW” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 220 for more information. AVERAGE ECONOMY (AFE) This display shows the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this display was reset. To reset this display, press the set/reset button. The display will return to zero. INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY (IFE) This display shows the current fuel economy in either miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
