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.

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 .

This indicator comes on briefly when

you turn the ignition switch to the

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

This indicator comes on when you

set the cruise control. See page

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
