Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge

WARNING

Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
Steam and scalding liquids released

from a hot cooling system can cause burns.

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.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 202).

Note: Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been resolved.

Fuel Gauge

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much remains
in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary
slightly when your vehicle is moving or on
a gradient. The arrow adjacent to the fuel
pump symbol indicates on which side of
the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

Low Fuel Level Reminder

Vehicles with Trip Computer

A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the distance to empty
reaches 75 mi (120 km) to empty for
MyKey, and at 50 mi (80 km), 25 mi
(40 km), 10 mi (20 km) and 0 mi (0 km)
for all vehicle keys.

Vehicles without Trip Computer

A low fuel level reminder displays and
sounds when the fuel gauge needle is at
1/16th.

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 will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some
lamps will illuminate when you start your
vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,

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.

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 your authorized dealer.

Anti-Lock Braking System

If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You will continue

to have the normal braking system
(without ABS) unless the brake system
warning lamp is also illuminated. Have the

this feature off or in conjunction
with a message. See Blind Spot

Information System (page 146). See

Brake System

WARNING

Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance

may occur. It may take you longer to stop
your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged
can cause brake failure and the risk of
personal injury.

E144522

It will illuminate 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 your authorized
dealer.

E71340

It will illuminate when you switch
this feature on. See Using
Cruise Control (page 145).

turn signal or the hazard warning
flasher is turned on. If the

indicators stay on or flash faster, check for
a burned out bulb. See Changing a Bulb
(page 212).

Engine Oil

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

running or when driving, check your tire
pressure as soon as possible.

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 your authorized dealer.

Parking Lamps

It will illuminate when you switch
the parking lamps on.

Service Engine Soon

If the service engine soon
indicator light stays illuminated
after the engine is started, it

indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics
(OBD-II) system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emissions
control system. Refer to On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD-II) for more information
about having your vehicle serviced.

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.

The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first turned
on prior to 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 will
stay on until the engine is cranked, then
turn 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.

Traction and Stability Control

E138639

It will flash 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 will switch off. Have the system
checked by your authorized dealer
immediately.

the system off. It will go out
