High beam indicator light
The high beam indicator light illuminates when the
headlight high beam is on. The indicator turns off
when the low beam is selected. (See "Headlight
and turn signal switch" later in this section.)
Hill descent control system on
indicator light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position the
hill descent control system on indicator light illumi-
nates briefly and then turns off. This indicates that
the hill descent control system is operational.
The light illuminates when the hill descent control
system is activated.
If the hill descent control switch is on and the indi-
cator light blinks, the system is not engaged.
If the indicator light does not illuminate or blink when
the hill descent control switch is on, the system may
not be functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
For additional information, see "Hill descent control
system (where fitted)" in the "5. Starting and driving"
section.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
CAUTION
•
Continuing vehicle operation without proper
servicing of the engine control system could
lead to poor driveability, reduced fuel
economy, and damage to the engine control
system, which may affect the vehicle's war-
ranty coverage.
•
Incorrect setting of the engine control system
may lead to non-compliance of local and na-
tional emission laws and regulations.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminates. After
starting the engine, the MIL turns off. This indicates
that the engine control system is operational.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light illuminates or blinks
while the engine is running, it may indicate that the
engine control system is not functioning properly
and may need servicing. Have the system checked,
and if necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or
qualified workshop promptly.
Precautions:
To reduce or avoid possible damage to the engine
control system when the MIL blinks:
•
Avoid driving at speeds above 70 km/h (43
MPH).
•
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
•
Avoid going up steep uphill grades.
•
Avoid carrying or towing unnecessary loads.
Rear fog light indicator light
(where fitted)
The rear fog light indicator light illuminates when the
rear fog light is on. (See "Fog light switch (where
fitted)" later in this section.)
Security indicator light
(where fitted)
The security indicator light blinks when the ignition
switch is in the ACC, OFF or LOCK position. This
function indicates that the security system equipped
on the vehicle is operational.
If the security system is malfunctioning, this light will
remain on while the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion. (See "Security system (where fitted)" in the
"3. Pre-driving checks and adjustments" section for
additional information.)
Small light indicator light
(where fitted)
The light illuminates when the headlight switch is
turned to the position.
Trailer direction indicator light

trical load is detected by the direction indicator sys-
tem.
For additional information, see "Trailer towing" in
the "5. Starting and driving" section.
