• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/
RUN, the ESC system will be ON, even if it
was turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
9. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light indicates the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) is off.
10. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
11. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned
to the ON/RUN position, this light will
turn on for four to eight seconds as a
bulb check. During the bulb check, if
the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will

sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if
the driver or front passenger seat belt remains
unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will
flash or remain on continuously. Refer to "Oc-
cupant Restraints" in "Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle" for further information.
12. Turn Signal Indicator
The arrows will flash with the exterior
turn signals when the turn signal lever
is operated. A tone will chime, and an
EVIC message will appear if either turn signal is
left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate,
check for a defective outside light bulb.
13. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
recom- pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
