StabiliTrak®Indicator Light
This light warns that
there is a problem with
the Traction Control
System (TCS) or the
Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) system.
The light will come on when the ignition is turned to ON
and will go off after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, the system does
not work. However, as conventional braking operates
when applied, there is no problem to continue driving.
In the following cases, contact your dealer:
The warning light does not come on after the
ignition is turned to ON.
The warning light remains on after the ignition is
turned to ON.
The warning light comes on while driving.
The TCS light will come on when the VSC system
warning light comes on, even if the TRAC OFF button
is not pressed.SeeStabiliTrak
®System on page 4-7for more
information on Vehicle Stability Control System.
SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6for
more information.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into the red area, the engine is too
hot. It means that the engine has overheated. Pull off the
road, stop your vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon
as possible. SeeEngine Overheating on page 5-26.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp
Check Engine Light
A computer system called OBD II (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of
the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It makes
sure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of
the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment.
The check engine light comes on to indicate that there
is an OBD II problem and service is required.
Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before
any problem is apparent. This can prevent more serious
damage to your vehicle. This system is also designed
to assist your service technician in correctly diagnosing
any malfunction.Notice:If you keep driving your vehicle with this
light on, after a while, the emission controls might
not work as well, your vehicle’s fuel economy might
not be as good, and the engine might not run as
smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that
might not be covered by your warranty.
Notice:Modi cations made to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of
your vehicle or replacement tires that do not match
your vehicle’s original tires can affect your vehicle’s
emission controls and can cause this light to come
on. Modi cations to these systems could lead to
costly repairs not covered by your warranty. This
could also result in a failure to pass a required
Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See
Accessories and Modifications on page 5-3.
This light comes on, as a check to show it is working,
when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN but the engine
is not running. If the light does not come on, have
it repaired. This light also comes on during a malfunction
in one of two ways:
Light Flashing— A mis re condition has been
detected. A mis re increases vehicle emissions
and could damage the emission control system
on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service might
be required.
Light On Steady— An emission control system
malfunction has been detected on your vehicle.
Diagnosis and service might be required. United States
