Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have

the respective system inspected immediately.

Check engine

Illuminates briefly to ensure the system is functional. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted and will not require towing.

Light turns on solid:

Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate. Examples are:

• The vehicle has run out of fuel.

• Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

• The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.

Instrument Cluster

If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity.

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.

Check fuel cap

Illuminates when the fuel cap is not installed correctly. Check the fuel cap for proper installation. When the fuel filler cap is properly re-installed, the light(s) will turn off after a period of normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle with the check fuel cap light on, can activate the Service Engine Soon/Check Engine warning light.

It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an improperly installed fuel filler cap.

For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

If the brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, or illuminates after releasing the parking brake, seek service immediately. Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information.

BRAKE

Instrument Cluster

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates at start up to ensure the circuit is functional. If the light does not illuminate, remains on or continues to flash, the ABS needs to be serviced (refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information). With the ABS light on, the ABS is disabled and normal braking is still functional.

Safety belt

Illuminates to remind you to fasten your safety belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.

Air bag readiness

Illuminates to confirm that the air bags (front and side) are operational. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately.

Illuminates when the battery is not charging properly.

ABS

Engine oil pressure

Illuminates when the oil pressure falls below the normal range. Check the oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to Engine oil in the

Maintenance and specifications

chapter.

Instrument Cluster

Engine coolant temperature

Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let it cool.

Never remove the coolant

recovery cap while the engine is running or hot.

Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and specifications chapter. If light stays on or continues to turn on after the vehicle warms up, have your vehicle serviced.

Transmission PRNDL indicator

Displays the gearshift positions. If an “E” character is displayed or flashing, this indicates a transmission malfunction, contact your dealer immediately. Operating the transmission with the “E” character illuminated may cause additional damage to the transmission.

AdvanceTracY (if equipped)

Flashes when the AdvanceTracy system is active. If the light remains on, have the system serviced immediately.

For more information, refer to the Driving chapter.

Traction ControlY active

Illuminates when the Traction Controly system is active. It will be lit for a minimum of four seconds or for the duration of the Traction Controly event.

For more information, refer to the Driving chapter.

Instrument Cluster

Steering column lock (manual transmission only)

Illuminates when the steering column is locked. If this light stays illuminated the vehicle will not start, have the vehicle serviced immediately.

Low fuel

Illuminates when the fuel level in the fuel tank is at or near empty, refer to Fuel gauge in this chapter for more information.

Speed control

Illuminates when the speed control is activated.

Low washer fluid

Illuminates when the windshield washer fluid is low.

Turn signal

Illuminates when the turn signals or the hazard lights are turned on. If the lights stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out bulb.

Bulb Warning

Illuminates when one of the exterior bulbs has burned out.

Instrument Cluster

High beams

Illuminates when the high beam headlamps are turned on.

Door ajar (if equipped)

Illuminates when any door or the trunk is open.

Engine coolant temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating temperature, the needle remains

within the normal area (the area between the “H” and “C”); if the needle goes above the normal range, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible,

switch off the engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and specifications chapter.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is

running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling system can burn you badly.

This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication will not be accurate.

Fuel gauge

Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade.

When refueling the vehicle from an empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.
