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 intended for driv-
ing in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally 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.
- Park/Headlight ON Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the park lights or headlights are turned on.
- Power Steering System Warning
This light is used to manage the electrical warning of the EPS (Electric Power Steering
System).When the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position, the warning light will illu-
minate momentarily.If the warning light stays on, cycle the ignition to the OFF position
and back to ON/RUN.If the warning light stays on, contact your authorized dealer.
If the warning light switches on while driving, you may not have steering assistance.Al-
though it will still be possible to steer the car, the effort needed to operate the steering
wheel could be increased: contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
- Defroster Indicator
Indicates that defroster is on.
