Yellow Indicator Lights

— 4WD Low Indicator Light —
If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. Low range provides
a greater gear reduction ratio to provide in-
creased torque at the wheels.
Refer to "Four-Wheel Drive Operation — If
Equipped" in "Starting And Operating" for
further information on four-wheel drive op-
eration and proper use.

— 4WD Lock Indicator Light

in the four-wheel drive LOCK mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together, forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed.
Refer to "Four-Wheel Drive Operation" in
"Starting And Operating" for further informa-
tion on four-wheel drive operation and proper
use.
— Active Speed Limiter Fault
Indicator Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to signal
when there is a fault detected with the Active
Speed Limiter.
— Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Cleaning In Progress Indicator Light —
Diesel Versions With DPF Only (If Equipped)
This indicator light will illuminate, or a mes-
sage will appear, to indicate that the DPF
system needs to eliminate the trapped pollut-
ants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
The light/message does not switch on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when driv-
ing conditions require that the driver is noti-
fied. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle
in motion until the regeneration process is
over. On average, the process lasts 15 min-
utes.
Optimal conditions for completing the pro-
cess are achieved by travelling at 37 mph
(60 km/h) with engine speed
2000 rpm.
When this light/message switches on, it does
not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it
should not be taken to a workshop.
NOTE:
On some versions, together with the symbol
switching on, the display shows a dedicated
message.
CAUTION!
Vehicle travel speed should always be
adapted to the traffic and weather condi-
tions, and must always comply with traffic
regulations.
