Instrument Panel Indicators
U.S. Canada
The instrument panel has many
indicators that give you important
information about your vehicle.
Parking Brake and
Brake System
Indicator
Seat Belt Reminder
Indicator
This indicator comes on when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. It reminds you and your
passengers to fasten your seat belts.
A beeper also sounds if you have not
fastened your seat belt.
This indicator has two functions:
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp
See page 395 .
1. It comes on when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. It is a reminder to check
the parking brake. A beeper
sounds if you drive with the
parking brake not fully released.
Driving with the parking brake not
fully released can damage the
brakes and tires.
Low Oil Pressure
Indicator
The engine can be severely damaged
if this indicator flashes or stays on
when the engine is running. For
more information, see page 394 .
If you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position before fastening
your seat belt, the beeper sounds,
and the indicator flashes. If you do
not fasten your seat belt before the
beeper stops, the indicator stops
flashing but remains on.
Charging System
Indicator
If this indicator comes on when the
engine is running, the battery is not
being charged. For more information,
see page 394 .
2. If it stays on after you have fully
released the parking brake while
the engine is running, or if it
comes on while driving, there
could be a problem with the brake
system. For more information, see
page 396 .
If your front passenger does not
fasten their seat belt, the indicator
comes on about 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
(II) position.
62
09/07/16 17:55:08 31SWA630_068
Instrument Panel Indicators
If either of you do not fasten your
seat belt while driving, the beeper
will sound and the indicator will flash
again at regular intervals. For more
information, see page 19 .
U.S.
Canada
Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS) Indicator
Side Airbag Off
Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, and when the ignition
switch is turned to the START (III)
position. If it comes on at any other
time, there is a problem in the ABS.
If this happens, have your vehicle
checked by your dealer. With the
indicator on, your vehicle still has
normal braking ability but no anti-
lock. For more information, see page
322 .
This indicator comes on briefly when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. If it comes on at
any other time, it indicates that the
passenger’s side airbag has
automatically shut off. For more
information, see page 32 .
Supplemental Restraint
System Indicator
This indicator comes on briefly when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. If it comes on at
any other time, it indicates a
potential problem with your front
airbags. This indicator will also alert
you to a potential problem with your
side airbags, passenger’s side airbag
cutoff system, side curtain airbags,
automatic seat belt tensioners,
driver’s seat position sensor, or the
front passenger’s weight sensors.
For more information, see page 32 .
Immobilizer System
Indicator
This indicator comes on briefly when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. It will then go off if
you have inserted a properly coded
ignition key. If it is not a properly
coded key, the indicator will blink,
and the engine’s fuel system will be
disabled (see page 83 ).
63
09/07/16 17:55:21 31SWA630_069
Instrument Panel Indicators
Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA) System Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, and when the ignition
switch is turned to the START (III)
position.
VSA Off Indicator
Cruise Control Indicator
It comes on as a reminder that you
have turned off the vehicle stability
assist (VSA) system.
This indicator comes on when you
set the cruise control. See page
266 for information on operating the
cruise control.
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, and when the ignition
switch is turned to the START (III)
position. For more information, see
page 324 .
Cruise Main Indicator
It flashes when VSA is active (see
page 324 ).
This indicator comes on when you
turn on the cruise control system by
pressing the CRUISE button (see
page 266 ).
If it comes on and stays on at any
other time, or if it does not come on
when you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, there is a
problem with the VSA system. Take
your vehicle to a dealer to have it
checked. Without VSA, your vehicle
still has normal driving ability, but
will not have VSA traction and
stability enhancement. See page
324 for more information on the
VSA system.

Instrument Panel Indicators
Turn Signal and
High Beam Indicator
Low Fuel Indicator
Hazard Warning
Indicators
This indicator comes on with the
high beam headlights. For more
information, see page 77 .
This indicator comes on as a
reminder that you must refuel soon.
The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If an indicator does not blink
or blinks rapidly, it usually means
one of the turn signal bulbs is
burned out (see pages 361 and 363 ).
Replace the bulb as soon as possible,
since other drivers cannot see that
you are signaling.
When the indicator comes on, there
are about 2.3 U.S. gal (8.6 ) of fuel
remaining in the tank.
This indicator also comes on with
reduced brightness when the
daytime running lights (DRL) are on
(see page 78 ).
When the needle reaches E, there is
a very small amount of fuel in the
tank.
Daytime Running Lights
Indicator
When you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicators
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle flash.
If this indicator comes on when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position and release the parking
brake, it means there is a problem
with the DRL. There may also be a
problem with the high beam
headlights. Have your vehicle
checked by your dealer.
Door and Tailgate Open Indicator
The appropriate indicator comes on
in this display if the tailgate or any
door is not closed tightly.

Instrument Panel Indicators
Low Tire Pressure
Indicator
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position.
Lights On Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it comes on while driving,
it indicates that one or more of your
vehicle’s tires are significantly low
on pressure.
This indicator reminds you that the
exterior lights are on. It comes on
when the light switch is in either the
or
position. If you turn the
ignition switch to the ACCESSORY
(I) or LOCK (0) position without
turning off the light switch, this
indicator will stay on. A reminder
chime will also sound when you open
the driver’s door.
If this indicator comes on and stays
on at any other time, or if it does not
come on when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position, there
is a problem with the TPMS. With
this indicator on, the low tire
If this happens, pull to the side of the
road when it is safe, check which tire
has lost the pressure, and determine
the cause. If it is because of a flat tire, pressure indicator will not come on

Odometer
Temperature Gauge
Outside Temperature Indicator
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial/
territorial regulations to disconnect,
reset, or alter the odometer with the
intent to change the number of miles
or kilometers indicated.
This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the reading should be in
the middle of the gauge. In severe
driving conditions, such as very hot
weather or a long period of uphill
driving, the reading may reach near
the red mark. If it reaches the red
(Hot) mark, pull safely to the side of
the road. See page 392 for
instructions and precautions on
checking the engine’s cooling
system.
Fuel Gauge
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
This shows how much fuel you have.
It may show slightly more or less
than the actual amount.
If equipped
This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Celsius (Canadian
models).
Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damaging
the catalytic converter.
