INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Malfunction Indicator
Light
• If the "ESC Malfunction Indicator Light" comes on continuously with the engine
running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains
on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to
the nearest Service Center as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected.
• The "ESC Malfunction Indicator Light" starts to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash during
acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be
sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. The light
also flashes when TCS is active. To improve the vehicles traction when starting off
in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system to
Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a "low tire" message will display in your
instrument cluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle's four
road tires are significantly under-inflated.
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended pressure
for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the
"Tire and Loading Information" label located on the driver's side door opening. The
TPMS light should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire
pressure.
• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when tires are
cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light will
turn off after your vehicle's tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure
has been recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will turn off.
