displayed at the bottom of the screen with
gasoline range shown in white.

•

Gasoline Range: Is the estimated
distance to empty based on the fuel
remaining in the tank.

The amount of energy being used while
driving is affected by:

•

Mild or aggressive acceleration or
braking.

•

Your vehicle speed.

•

Your use of accessories such as climate
control.

•

The ambient temperature and other
weather conditions.

•

City or highway driving.

•

Road grades.

Note: It is normal for vehicle range
estimates to vary due to changes in average
energy usage. This is why you will typically
see different range estimates each time you
fill up your fuel tank or fully charge your
battery.

Trip Efficiency Leaves

Trip Efficiency Leaves display upon
shutting off your Hybrid vehicle. The
number of leaves represent the average
for the last trip. A new trip begins each time
you start your vehicle (when the Ready to

information display.

WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS

The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some
lamps will light 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.

Anti-Lock Braking System

It illuminates momentarily when
you switch the ignition on to
confirm that 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 as
soon as possible.

If it lights when you are driving, this
indicates a malfunction. You will continue
to have normal braking (without anti-lock
braking system) unless the brake system
warning lamp also lights. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.

Battery

If it lights while driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical

equipment and have the system checked
by an authorized dealer immediately.

Blind Spot Monitor

It illuminates momentarily when
you switch the ignition on to
confirm that 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 as
soon as possible.

Lights when you engage the parking brake
with the ignition on.

If it lights when you are driving, check that
you do not have the parking brake
engaged. If you do not have the parking
brake engaged, this indicates low brake
fluid level or a brake system malfunction.
Have the system checked as soon as
possible.

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.

Cruise Control

Lights when you switch on this
feature.

Direction Indicator

Lights when you switch on the
left or right direction indicator or
hazard warning flasher. If the

indicators stay on or flash faster, check for
a burned out bulb. See Changing a Bulb
(page 226).

Door Ajar

Displays when the ignition is on
and any door is not completely
closed.

EcoSelect

Lights when you switch on this
feature. See EcoSelect (page
133).

Engine and Motor Coolant
Temperature

Lights when the engine or motor
coolant temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle as soon as

possible, switch off the engine and let cool.

Engine Oil

If it lights with the engine running
or while you are driving, this
indicates a malfunction. Stop

your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch off the engine. Check the engine
oil level. See Engine Oil Check (page 215).

Note: Do not resume your journey if it lights
despite the level being correct. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer
immediately.

message suggesting you reduce

your usage of the climate system.

Low Fuel Level

Lights when the fuel level is low
or the fuel tank is nearly empty.
Refuel as soon as possible.

Low Tire Pressure Warning

Lights 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 lights momentarily when you switch

a powertrain or high-voltage
charge system fault. If the

indicator stays on or continues to come on,
contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

Note: If your vehicle detects certain faults,
it will not allow you to operate the
accelerator pedal. If this happens, press the
brake pedal and release it. This will activate
limp home vehicle operation. In limp home
vehicle operation, your vehicle will
accelerate in a controlled manner up to a
maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) on
a flat surface. If you apply the brake pedal
or move the transmission to neutral (N) you
can override your vehicle’s acceleration.

Ready to Drive

Lights after you switch your
vehicle on and it is ready to drive.
A corresponding message may

display stating ready to drive.

Service Engine Soon

If it illuminates when the engine
is running this indicates a
malfunction. The On Board

Diagnostics system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emission control
system.

If it flashes, engine misfire may be
occurring. Increased exhaust gas
temperatures could damage the catalytic
converter or other vehicle components.
Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and have
your vehicle immediately serviced.

It illuminates when you switch the ignition
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether your vehicle is
ready for Inspection and Maintenance
(I/M) testing.

Normally, it illuminates until the engine is
cranked and automatically turns off if no
malfunctions are present. However, if after
15 seconds it flashes eight times, this
indicates that your vehicle is not ready for
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing.
See Catalytic Converter (page 144).

Stability Control

It illuminates momentarily when
you switch the ignition on to
confirm that 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 as
soon as possible.

Lights when the system is active. If it
remains on or does not light when you
switch the ignition on, this indicates a
malfunction. During a malfunction, the
system will turn off. Have the system
checked as soon as possible. See Using
Stability Control (page 158).

Stability Control Off

Lights when you switch the
system off. It will go out when
you switch the system back on

or when you switch the ignition off. See
Using Stability Control (page 158).

Stop Safely

Indicates an electrical
component fault or failure that
will cause the vehicle to

shutdown or enter into a limited operating
mode. A message may also display.
