Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge Shows the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle will remain in the center section. If the needle enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the engine, switch the ignition off and determine the cause once the engine has cooled down. Note: Do not restart the engine until the cause of the overheating has been resolved.
WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot.
Fuel Gauge Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient. Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will indicate approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the fuel pump symbol indicates on which side of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located. The needle should move toward F when you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points to E after adding fuel, this indicates your vehicle needs service soon. After refueling some variability in needle position is normal: •
It may take a short time for the needle to reach full after leaving the gas station. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station. The fuel amount dispensed into the tank is a little less or more than the gauge indicated. This is normal and depends upon the slope of pavement at the gas station.
•
•
•
If the gas station nozzle shuts off before the tank is full, try a different gas pump nozzle. There is a small reserve left in the tank when the fuel gauge reaches empty.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the
distance to empty reaches 75 miles (120
km), 50 miles (80 km), 25 miles (40 km),
10 miles (20 km) and 0 miles (0 km) .
Variations:
Note: The low fuel warning and
distance-to-empty warning can appear at
different fuel gauge positions depending on
fuel economy conditions. This variation is
normal.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
illuminate when you start your vehicle to
make sure they work. If any lamps remain
on after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp, but do not display
when you start your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped)
The speed control system indicator light changes color to indicate what mode the system is in. See Using Adaptive Cruise Control (page 214).

Engaged (green light): Illuminates when you engage the adaptive cruise control system. Turns off when you disengage the speed control system. Anti-Lock Braking System
If it illuminates when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. You continue to
have the normal braking system (without ABS) unless the brake system warning lamp is also illuminated. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. Automatic High Beam Control It will illuminate when this feature is on. See Automatic High Beam Control (page 83).
Battery
If it illuminates while driving, it indicates a malfunction. Switch off all unnecessary electrical
equipment and have the system checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Blind Spot Monitor (If Equipped)
It illuminates when you switch this feature off or in conjunction with a message. See Blind Spot
Information System (page 224). Brake System
It illuminates when you engage the parking brake with the ignition on.
If it illuminates when you are driving, check that the parking brake is not engaged. If the parking brake is not engaged, this indicates low brake fluid level or a brake system malfunction. Have the system checked immediately by an authorized dealer.
WARNING
Driving your vehicle with the warning lamp on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked by your authorized dealer immediately. Driving extended distances with the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and the risk of personal injury. Cruise Control (If Equipped)
It illuminates when you switch this feature on.
Direction Indicator
Illuminates when you switch on the left or right direction indicator or the hazard warning
flasher. If the indicators stay on or flash faster, check for a burned out bulb. See Changing a Bulb (page 293). Door Ajar
Displays when the ignition is on and any door is not completely closed.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high. Stop the vehicle as soon as
possible, switch off the engine and let cool. See Engine Coolant Check (page 282).

Engine Oil
High Beam
If it illuminates with the engine running or when you are driving, this indicates a malfunction. Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so and switch the engine off. Check the engine oil level. See Engine Oil Check (page 281). Note: Do not resume your journey if it illuminates despite the level being correct. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Fasten Safety Belt
It illuminates and a chime sounds to remind you to fasten your safety belt. See Safety
Belt Minder (page 37). Front Airbag
If it fails to illuminate when you start your vehicle, continues to flash or remains on, it indicates a malfunction. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. Front Fog Lamps (If Equipped)
Lights when you switch the front fog lamps on.
Heads Up Display (If Equipped)
A red beam of lights illuminates on the windshield in certain instances when using adaptive cruise control and/or the collision warning system. It also illuminates momentarily when you start your vehicle to make sure the display works.
It illuminates when you switch the high beam headlamps on. It flashes when you use the
headlamp flasher. Hood Ajar
Displays when the ignition is on and the hood is not completely closed.
Lane Keeping Aid (If Equipped)

Liftgate Ajar
Lights when the liftgate is not completely closed.
Low Fuel Level
It illuminates when the fuel level is low or the fuel tank is nearly empty. Refuel as soon as
possible. Low Tire Pressure Warning
It illuminates when your tire pressure is low. If the lamp remains on with the engine running or when driving, check
your tire pressure as soon as possible. It also illuminates momentarily when you switch the ignition on to confirm the lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate when you switch the ignition on, or begins to flash at any time, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

The service engine soon indicator light illuminates when you first switch on the ignition before engine start to check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. Normally, the service engine soon light stays on until you crank the engine, then turns itself off if no malfunctions are present. However, if after 15 seconds the service engine soon light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. See Emission Control System (page 177). Stability Control
It flashes when the system is active. If it remains illuminated or does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, this indicates a malfunction. During a malfunction the system switches off. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer immediately. See Using Stability Control (page 194). Stability Control Off
It illuminates when you switch the system off. It goes out when you switch the system back on or when you switch the ignition off. See Using Stability Control (page 194). Transmission Tow/Haul (If Equipped) Illuminates when you activate the tow/haul feature. If the light flashes steadily, have the system serviced immediately. Damage to the transmission could occur. See Automatic Transmission (page 180).
Low Washer Fluid
It illuminates when the windshield washer fluid is low.
Parking Lamps
It illuminates when you switch the parking lamps on.
Powertrain Fault
Illuminates when the system detects a powertrain or an 4WD fault. Contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible. Service Engine Soon
If the service engine soon indicator light stays illuminated after you start the engine, it
indicates that the On Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has detected a malfunction of the vehicle emissions control system. Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel and Refueling chapter for more information about having your vehicle serviced. See Emission Control System (page 177). If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic
converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire. Have an authorized dealer service your vehicle immediately.
