WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATOR LIGHTS

– Turn Signal Indicator
The arrows will flash with the exterior turn signals when the turn signal lever is oper-
ated. A tone will chime, and a EVIC message will appear if either turn signal is left on for
more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb.
– High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high beam.
– Vehicle Security Light
This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle security alarm
is arming. The light will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm is set. The
security light will also come on for about three seconds when the ignition is first turned
on.
– Front Fog Light Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.
– Electronic Speed Control SET Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the cruising speed has been set.
– Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
This light indicates the ESC system has been turned off by the driver.
ESC Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pushing the ESC Off switch. This mode is intended
for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also intended for driv-
ing in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESC on again, momentarily push the
switch again. This will restore the normal ESC On mode of operation.
ESC Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on
public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF, except
for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section. To enter the "Full Off" mode,
push and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds. After five seconds, the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will illuminate, and the "ESC OFF" message will display in the EVIC. To turn
ESC ON again, momentarily push the ESC OFF switch.
