Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas
cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light
after engine start.The vehicle should be serviced
if the light stays on through several typical driving
styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to
alert serious conditions that could lead to imme-
diate loss of power or severe catalytic converter
damage. The vehicle should be serviced by an
authorized dealer as soon as possible if this
occurs.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as refer-
enced above, can reach higher temperatures
than in normal operating conditions. This can
cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over
flammable substances such as dry plants,
wood, cardboard, etc.This could result in death
or serious injury to the driver, occupants or
others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indica-
tor Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the
vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel
economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing,
severe catalytic converter damage and power
loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.
— Passenger Air Bag Indicator Light
This light should come and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition is
first turned to the AVV/START or MAR/ON/
RUN position. If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving it may indicate a problem with a
passenger air bag system, if the light flickers it may
indicate an air bag warning light failure. Have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system
immediately.
— Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning 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 indi-
cations corresponding to each tire.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steer-
ing. If a tire puncture occurs, repair immedi-
ately using the dedicated tire repair kit and
contact an authorized dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
