tank.
• The switching on of the digital warning light indi-
cates that 1 – 1.3 gallons of fuel are left in the tank; in
this situation, refuel as soon as possible.

5. Gas Pedal Percentage Gauge/Turbo Gauge/ECO In-
dex Gauge
Depending on what options and trim level, your vehicle
is equipped with there are three gauges available. •Gas Pedal Percentage Gauge: This gauge shows
what percent the gas pedal is currently depressed at. •
Turbo Gauge: This gauge shows the current turbo
usage.
• ECO Index Gauge: The ECO Index gauge allows the
driver to monitor their driving style in order to
increase fuel economy. The efficiency of the driving
style is displayed on a gauge located on the right
side of the instrument cluster and ranges from a
minimum value of 0 up to a maximum value of 5 (0
= low, 5 = high). A higher “ECO” index indicates a
more fuel efficient drive style and will increase your
fuel economy. A lower “ECO” index indicates fre-
quent accelerations/decelerations and will decrease
your fuel economy. The index is recalculated ap-
proximately every second and takes into account a
combination of the instant fuel economy and your
driving style during the current trip.

Yellow TelltaleLight What It Means
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
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 en-
gine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously
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 (kilo-
meters) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
•
The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it was
manually turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds and flash the ESC activation light
when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive
following the maneuver that caused the ESC activation.
