Warning Light
What It Means
What To Do
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
If the light is either not on during startup, stays on, or turns
on while driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.This light will
illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the Air Bag
Warning Light has been detected, it will stay on until the
fault is cleared. If the light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving, have an authorized dealer service
the vehicle immediately.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
SEATBELTREMINDER WARNING LIGHT
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN position, if
the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound and
the light will turn on. When driving, if the driver or front
passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will flash or remain on continuously and a
chime will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in
“Safety” for further information.
Always wear your seat belt when operating the vehicle.
OILTEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
This telltale indicates engine oil temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the turning on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not indicate any
faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a
lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.

Amber Warning Lights
Warning Light
What It Means
What To Do
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (ABS) INDICATOR LIGHT
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).The
light will turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and
service is required. However, the conventional brake system
will continue to operate normally if the brake indicator light
is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as
soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock
Brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by
an authorized dealer.
Drive carefully and contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING INDICATOR LIGHT
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to
indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the
recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is
occurring. In these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned
above, the display will show the indications corresponding
to each tire in sequence.
Continue driving for up to 50 miles (80 km) at a speed no
higher then 50 mph (80 km/h). Contact an authorized dealer
to have the tire repaired.

GETTINGTO KNOWYOUR INSTRUMENTPANEL
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with aTire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that theTPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of theTPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
aTPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly.TheTPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent theTPMS from functioning
properly. Always check theTPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow theTPMS to
continue to function properly.
Caution!
TheTPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended
that you take your vehicle to an authorized
dealership to have your sensor function
checked.

Warning Light
What It Means
What To Do
Tire Pressure Low
The indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the tire
pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases,
optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
In any situation in which the message on the display is
"See Manual", it is ESSENTIAL to refer to “Auxiliary
Driving Systems” in “Safety,” strictly complying with the
indications that you find there.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) INDICATOR
LIGHT
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the indicator light
illuminates, but should turn off as soon as the engine is
started.
ESC System Intervention
: Intervention by the system is
indicated by the flashing of the indicator light: it indicates
that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC System Failure
: If the indicator light does not turn off,
or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found
in the ESC system.
In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Hill Start Assist System Failure
: The illumination of the
indicator light indicates a Hill Start Assist system failure.
