If the light is on and not flashing, the
TCS, and potentially the StabiliTrak
system have been disabled. A DIC
message may display. Check the
DIC messages to determine which
feature(s) is no longer functioning
and whether the vehicle requires
service.
If the indicator/warning light is on
and flashing, the TCS and/or the
StabiliTrak system is actively
working.
SeeStabiliTrak
®System on
page 9‑38 andTraction Control
System (TCS) on page 9‑37 for
more information.
Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine is
started. It provides information
about tire pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of
the tires are significantly
underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC)
tire pressure message may also
display. See Vehicle Messages
(Canada Base Level) on page 5‑28
or Vehicle Messages (Canada
Uplevel and United States) on
page 5‑28 for more information. Stop as soon as possible, and
inflate the tires to the pressure value
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See
Tire Pressure
on page 10‑49 for more information.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light
will come on at every ignition cycle.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 10‑52 for more
information.

engine soon light, displays when a
noticeable reduction in the vehicle's
performance occurs. Stop the
vehicle and turn off the ignition.
Wait for 10 seconds and restart the
vehicle. This might correct the
condition. The vehicle can be driven at a
reduced speed when the reduced
engine power light is on but
acceleration and speed might be
reduced. The performance could be
reduced until the next time the
vehicle is driven. If this light stays
on, see your dealer as soon as
possible for diagnosis and repair.High-Beam On Light
The high‐beam on light comes on
when the high-beam headlamps are

Trip 1 or Trip 2, Average Fuel
Economy, Average Vehicle Speed
This displays the current distance
traveled, in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi), from the last reset for the
trip odometer. The trip odometer can
be reset to zero by pressing and
holding the SET/CLR button while
the trip odometer display is
showing. The Average Fuel Economy display
shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or miles per gallon (mpg).
This number is based on the
number of L/100 km (mpg)
recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset. This display
is shown as
.
cL/100 km (mpg).
Reset the average consumption by
pressing SET/CLR when it is
displayed.
This screen also displays the
average vehicle speed of the
vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This

Speed, Fuel Range, Average Fuel
Economy
The top of this display includes
a digital speedometer. The
speedometer shows how fast
the vehicle is moving in either
kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles
per hour (mph). The speedometer
cannot be reset.
In the center of the page is the
fuel range display. This shows the
approximate distance the vehicle
can be driven without refueling.
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle's fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. This display is shown
as
l.km (mi). Fuel range cannot
be reset.
Also included on this page is an
instantaneous fuel economy display.
The instantaneous fuel economy
display shows the current fuel
economy in liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km) or miles per
gallon (mpg). This number reflects only the
fuel economy that the vehicle
has right now and changes
frequently as driving conditions
change. This display is shown
as
.L/100 km (mpg). This display
cannot be reset.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
The instantaneous fuel economy
display shows the current fuel
economy in liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km) or miles per gallon
(mpg). This number reflects only the
fuel economy that the vehicle has
right now and changes frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike
average economy, this display
cannot be reset.
Best Average Fuel Economy
The right hand side displays the
best average fuel economy (AFE)
that is achieved for a selected
distance. The left hand side displays
a running average of fuel economy
for the most recently traveled
selected distance. The center bar graph displays the
instantaneous fuel economy.
Quickly press the SET/CLR button
to display a page for selecting one
of the distance options. Move the
up/down arrow to choose the
selection, and SET/CLR to change
the setting.
When viewing best AFE, a several
second press and hold of SET/CLR
will reset the best value. The best
value will show
“- - -”until the
selected distance has been
traveled.
The display provides feedback on
how current driving behavior in the
bar graph affects the running
average in the left display and how
well recent driving compares to the
best that has been achieved.
Fuel Used
This display shows the approximate
liters (L) or gallons (gal) of fuel that
have been used since last reset.
The fuel used can be reset by
pressing the SET/CLR button while
the Fuel Used display is showing.

Remaining Oil Life
This display shows an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life.
If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is
displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains. This display
may be shown as
:%.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message, or Code 82, will appear
on the display. See Engine Oil
Messages on page 5‑30 and
“Vehicle Messages (Canadian Base
Level)” following. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See
Engine Oil on page 10‑9. In addition
to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. See Maintenance Schedule
on page 11‑3 for more information. Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It will
not reset itself. Also, be careful not
to reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system press the
SET/CLR button while the Oil Life
display is active. See
Engine Oil
Life System on page 10‑12.
Coolant Temperature
This display, available on some
vehicles, shows the temperature of
the engine cooling system fluid in
either degrees Celsius (°C) or
degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
Battery Voltage
This display, available on some
vehicles, shows the current battery
voltage. If the voltage is in the
normal range, the value will display.
For example, the display may read
Battery Voltage 15.0 Volts. The vehicle's charging system
regulates voltage based on the state
of the battery. The battery voltage
can fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal. See
Charging System Light
on page 5‑13 for more information.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, the DIC will
display a message. See Battery
Voltage and Charging Messages on
page 5‑28.
