equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an after-
market tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have your
sensor function checked.
•What To Do
Do not drive your vehicle with one or more tires
deflated because the driveability of the car could be
compromised. Stop the car and avoid braking and
sharp turns. Contact your authorized dealer as soon
as possible.
ESC System
•What Does It Mean
Intervention ESC System:The light will
start to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESC system becomes ac-
tive. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on
the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible.
Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions.
Failure ESC System:If the light remains perma-
nently on after four second of the engine running,
there may be a failure in ESC system.

LaneSense System
•What Does It Mean
Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) — If Equipped
The light comes on in the following ways:
Light illuminated (white):indicates that the system
is active and both of the lane markings have been
detected (the lines of the aisle are gray in color).
Light on as flashing light (amber):indicates that the
vehicle is going to cross over the lane marking.
Light illuminated (green):indicates that both lane
markings have been detected, and the system is
“armed.” The system will provide a torque warning
in the steering wheel if an unintentional lane depar-
ture occurs.
Driver Information Display (DID) — If Equipped
On the vehicles equipped with DID, the light on the
side of the screen will be replaced by an icon in the
upper left area of the display.
These icons are displayed in the same way as vehicles
equipped with EVIC (see as previously described).
Park/Headlight ON Indicator
•What Does It Mean
The light comes on by activating the park-
ing lights or headlights.
This feature allows you to maintain the lights for a
period of 30, 60, or 90 seconds after placing the
ignition in the STOP position.
In some conditions, such as the poor quality of the
fuel, the light may come on only after starting the
engine.

Transmission Over Temperature
•What Does It Mean
This light indicates that the automatic
transmission fluid temperature is running
hot. This may occur with heavy usage, such
as trailer towing.
•What To Do
Safely pull over and stop the vehicle. Shift the trans-
mission to PARK. Keep the engine off or at idle speed
until the light turns off.
Towing Hook Breakdown
•What Does It Mean
The light illuminates to indicate the failure
of the tow hook.
•What To Do
Please contact an authorized dealer.
Power Steering System Warning
•What Does It Mean
This light will illuminate to indicate a fail-
ure in the Electronic Power Steering System
(EPS). Although it will still be possible to
steer the car, additional effort may be needed to
operate the steering wheel.
•What To Do
Please contact an authorized dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

This function allows you to define two separate trips
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” where the car’s#complete
trips#are monitored in an independent manner.
Both trips can be reset (reset - start of a new trip). To
perform a reset, push and hold the OK button on the
steering wheel controls.
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
•Distance Travelled
•Average Consumption
•Travel Time (driving time)
Quantities Displayed
Distance Travelled
Indicates the distance travelled by the start of the new trip.
Average Consumption
Represents the average fuel consumption since the start
of the new trip.
Travel Time

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM
This system enhances directional control and stability of
the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor-
rects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by
applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in
counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition. En-
gine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle
maintain the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle
path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual
path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match
the intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appro-
priate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or
understeer condition.
•Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.
•Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” lo-
cated in the instrument cluster will start to flash as soon
as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes
active. The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when the TCS is active. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” begins to flash
during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply
as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed
and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
WARNING!
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot pre-
vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the
vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot prevent col-
lisions, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
