– Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally
and not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead
to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do
not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
– Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
The ESC Off mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used
on any public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF.
To enter the "Full Off" mode, press and hold the "ESC" switch for five seconds while the
vehicle is stopped with the engine running. After five seconds, a chime will sound, the
"ESC OFF" Indicator Light" will illuminate, and the "ESC OFF" message will display in the
vehicle cluster (left of the odometer). The "ESC OFF" message may appear in the Driver
Information Display (DID). To turn ESC ON again, momentarily press the "ESC" switch.
– Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.
We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
– Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound when this light
turns on.
We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
– Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
If the light is not on during starting, stays on or turns on while driving, we recommend you
contact the nearest authorized dealer and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
