Instrument Cluster Messages
Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC/DID) to
alert the driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.
MESSAGEDESCRIPTION
GEAR NOT AVAILABLEIn AutoStick®mode, the gear selected bythe driver is not available due to a fault con-dition. See your authorized dealer for diag-nosis and service.
SHIFT NOT ALLOWED The gear position requested by the driver iscurrently blocked. This occurs if NEUTRALis requested while moving, if REVERSE isrequested while moving (at 6 mph[10 km/h] or faster), if DRIVE is requestedwhile moving backwards (at 6 mph[10 km/h] or faster), or if 3rd gear or higheris requested at a stop. Make sure the ve-hicle is stopped before engaging DRIVE orREVERSE.
SHIFT TO NEUTRAL THEN D or R The transmission has shifted itself intoNEUTRAL (due to a fault condition, or over-heat due to excessive idling when stoppedin DRIVE with the brakes released), but theshift lever remains in gear. Shift into NEU-TRAL and then back into gear for continueddriving. If the transmission will not reen-gage, see your authorized dealer.
AUTOSTICK NOT AVAILABLE AutoStick®mode is unavailable due to ashift lever fault. See your authorized dealerfor diagnosis and service.

REDUCE GEAR CHANGES The transmission pump is overheating. InAutoStick®mode, try to drive in one spe-cific gear as much as possible, avoidingfrequent gear changes. In DRIVE, the trans-mission will automatically modify its shiftschedule to reduce the number of shifts.
TRANS. GETTING HOT PRESS BRAKE The transmission driving clutch is overheat-ing, usually due to repeated launches instop-and-go traffic. Pull over and allow thetransmission to cool in NEUTRAL until“TRANS. COOL READY TO DRIVE” is dis-played.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
-ElectronicStabilityControl(ESC)Activation/MalfunctionIndicatorLight
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the
engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.
If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you
drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
-TirePressureMonitoringSystem(TPMS)Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation 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 significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.

indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent
short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage
will influence when the “Change Oil” message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions
can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since
last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles
(805 km).

scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
“Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this guide or
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further
information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles
(16,000 km) or twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off
road environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
