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.

(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

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

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

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.

switch to the ON (II) position, there
is a problem with the TPMS. With
