INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATOR LIGHTS
- Turn Signal Indicator
The arrows will flash with the exterior turn signals when the turn signal lever is oper-
ated. A tone will chime, and a EVIC message will appear if either turn signal is left on
for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb.
- High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high beam.
- Vehicle Security Light
This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle security
alarm is arming. The light will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm is
set. The security light will also come on for about three seconds when the ignition is
first turned on.
- Front Fog Light Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.
- Electronic Speed Control SET Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the cruising speed has been set.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
This light indicates the ESC system has been turned off by the driver.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch. This mode is
intended for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also in-
tended for driving in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin
than ESC would normally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESC on again,
momentarily press the switch again. This will restore the normal ESC On mode of
operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used
on public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned
OFF, except for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section. To enter the
“Full Off” mode, depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds. After five
seconds, the ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message
will display in the EVIC. To turn ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF
switch.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should
be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use a wheel cleaner or equiva-
lent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not
use oven cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish.
Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may
damage the wheel's protective finish.
