WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

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).

Service engine soon

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. The vehicle will usually be drivable and

will not require towing.

Light turns on solid:

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

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. 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.

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.

Air bag readiness

Illuminates to confirm that the air

bags (front or side) are operational.

If the light fails to illuminate,

continues to flash or remains on,

have the system serviced immediately.

Safety belt

Illuminates to remind you to fasten

your safety belts. For more

information, refer to the Seating

and safety restraints chapter.

Brake system warning

Illuminates if the parking brake is

engaged. Also illuminates to indicate

a system check. If the brake

warning lamp does not illuminate at

these times, or illuminates after

releasing the parking brake, seek service immediately.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Illuminates to ensure the circuit is

functional. If the light does not

illuminate momentarily at start up,

remains on or continues to flash, the

ABS needs to be serviced. With the

ABS light on, normal braking is still functional.

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.

High beams

Illuminates when the high beam

headlamps are turned on.

SecuriLockY anti-theft system

Illuminates when the anti-theft

alarm system is armed. If the light

fails to illuminate, continues to flash

or remains on, have the system

serviced.

Refer to SecuriLocky passive anti-theft system in the Controls and

features chapter.

below normal range. Check the

engine oil and coolant level refer to

Adding engine oil and Adding coolant in the Maintenance and care

chapter.

Transmission control indicator light (TCIL)

Illuminates when the overdrive

function of the transmission has

been turned OFF using the

Transmission Control Switch (TCS).

Refer to the Driving chapter for

transmission function and operation.

If the light does not come on or if the light flashes steadily, have your

vehicle serviced as soon as possible, damage to the transmission could

occur.

also illuminates when the air

suspension switch is turned OFF or the air suspension system requires

servicing.

For information on the air suspension system, refer to the Driving

chapter.

Low washer fluid

Illuminates when the windshield

washer fluid is low.

Safety belt warning chime

Sounds to remind you to fasten your safety belts.

Belt minder chime

GAUGES

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

empty indication, the amount of fuel

that can be added will be less than

the advertised capacity due to the

reserve fuel.

A minimum of 22.2 L (six gallons)

must be added or removed from the fuel tank in order for the gauge to

instantaneously update. If less than six gallons is the change, the gauge

will take between five to twenty minutes to update.

Speedometer

Indicates the current vehicle speed.

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 it

enters the red section, 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

care chapter.

Never remove the coolant

reservoir cap while the

engine is running or hot.

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. If the gauge enters the red section, the oil

pressure/engine coolant andCheck Engine/Service Engine Soon

indicators illuminate, refer to What you should know about fail-safe

cooling in the Maintenance and care chapter.
