Parking Lamps

It will illuminate when you switch
the parking lamps on.

Powertrain Fault

Illuminates when a powertrain or
an AWD fault has been detected.
Contact your authorized dealer as

soon as possible.

Service Engine Soon

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

the On Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has
detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On board
diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel and Refueling
chapter for more information about having
your vehicle serviced. See Emission Control
System (page 137).

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.

WARNING

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.
Have an authorized dealer service your
vehicle 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.
See Emission Control System (page 137).

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. See
Using Stability Control (page 155).

Stability Control Off

It will illuminate 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 155).
