Ice Possible
This message appears when the outside
temperature is cold enough to create icy road
conditions.
Left Rear Door Ajar
When this message appears on the display, it
means that the driver’s side rear door was
not closed completely. You should make sure that
the door is closed completely.
Oil Pressure Low – Stop Engine
Notice:If you drive your vehicle while the
engine oil pressure is low, severe engine
damage may occur. If a low oil pressure
warning appears on the instrument panel
cluster and/or DIC, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Do not drive the vehicle until the
cause of the low oil pressure is corrected. See
Engine Oil on page 346for more information.
Passenger Door Ajar
When this message appears on the display, it
means that the passenger’s side front door was
not closed completely. You should make sure that
the door is closed completely.
Right Rear Door Ajar
When this message appears on the display, it
means that the passenger’s side rear door was not
closed completely. You should check to make
sure that the door is closed completely.
Service AC (Air Conditioning) System
This message appears when the electronic
sensors that control the air conditioning and
heating systems are no longer working. Have the
climate control system serviced by your dealer
if you notice a drop in heating and air conditioning
efficiency.
Service Air Bag
There is a problem with the airbag system when
this message appears. Have your vehicle serviced
by your dealer immediately. SeeAirbag Readiness
Light on page 201for more information.
Service Brake Assist
This message will display when a problem with
the panic brake assist system has been detected.
Have your vehicle serviced by your dealer.

Engine Oil
There is an oil pressure
light in the instrument
cluster and an Oil
Pressure Low - Stop
Engine message on the
Driver Information
Center (DIC).
If the light and/or message appear, check the
engine oil level right away. For more information,
see “Oil Pressure Low - Stop Engine” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 232andOil
Pressure Light on page 212. You should check
the engine oil level regularly; this is an added
reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the engine oil every time
you get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow loop.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 342
for the location of the engine oil dipstick.
1. Turn off the engine and give the oil
several minutes to drain back into the oil
pan. If you do not do this, the oil dipstick might
not show the actual level.
2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a paper
towel or cloth, then push it back in all the
way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.

Vehicle Capacity Weight:The number of
designated seating positions multiplied by 150 lbs
(68 kg) plus the rated cargo load. SeeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 321.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the Tire:Load on an
individual tire due to curb weight, accessory
weight, occupant weight, and cargo weight.
Vehicle Placard:A label permanently attached to
a vehicle showing the vehicle’s capacity weight
and the original equipment tire size and
recommended in ation pressure. See “Tire and
Loading Information Label” underLoading
Your Vehicle on page 321.
Run-Flat Tires (CTS-V)
If your vehicle has run- at tires, there is no spare
tire and no tire changing equipment. Your
vehicle also has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
which will alert you if there is a loss of tire pressure
in any of the tires. SeeTire Pressure Monitor
System on page 405.
{CAUTION:
When the low tire warning light is
displayed on the instrument panel cluster,
your vehicle’s handling capabilities will be
reduced during severe maneuvers. If you
drive too fast, you could lose control of
your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Do not drive over 55 mph (90 km/h)
when the low tire warning light is
displayed. Drive cautiously and check your
tire pressures as soon as you can.
If a tire goes at, you will not need to stop on the
side of the road to change the tire. You can
just keep on driving. The tire can operate
effectively with no air pressure for up to 65 miles
(105 km) at speeds up to 55 mph (90 km/h).
The shorter the distance you drive and the slower
the speed, the greater the chance that the tire
will not have to be replaced. When a tire is lled
with air, it provides a cushion between the
road and the wheel.

If a low tire pressure condition is detected, the
TPMS will display the Check Tire Pressure
message on the DIC or message center and, at the
same time, illuminate the low tire pressure warning
symbol on the instrument panel cluster.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and in ated to the
in ation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire in ation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire in ation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire in ation 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
pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires
is signi cantly
under-in ated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and in ate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signi cantly
under-in ated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to the tire failure. Under-in ation 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-in ation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
The Tire and Loading Information label shows the
size of your vehicle’s original tires and their
recommended cold in ation pressures. See
Loading Your Vehicle on page 321, for the location
of the tire and loading information label. Also
seeIn ation - Tire Pressure on page 402.
The tire pressure warning light may come on in
cool weather when the vehicle is rst started, and
then turn off as you start to drive. This could
be an early indicator that the tire pressures are
getting low and need to be in ated to the
proper pressure.
