WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
IMPORTANT:The warning / indicator lights switch on in the instrument panel together
with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable.These indications are
indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which you are advised to
read carefully in all cases.Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a
failure indication.
All active telltales will display first if applicable.The system check menu may appear differ-
ent based upon equipment options and current vehicle status.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of warning and indicator telltales that
are either standard or optional based on the vehicle build.FCA reserves the right to
make changes in design and specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to
its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products previ-
ously manufactured.
Instrument Cluster Warning Lights
– Electric Vehicle System Warning Light
This indicator will illuminate when there is a malfunction in the Electric Vehicle System.If
the EVS malfunction light comes on while driving or charging see your authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
– Regenerative Brake System Warning Light
If the light turns on and remains on while driving, it suggests that there is a potential
problem with the Regenerative Brake System (RBS) and the need for system service.See
your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

– 12 Volt Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the 12 Volt electrical charging system.If the charging system
light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging
system.
It is recommended that you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
– Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
If the light is not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving we recommend
you contact the nearest authorized dealer and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
– Air Bag Warning Light
If the light is not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving have the vehicle
serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
– Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on
for four to eight seconds as a bulb check.During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound.After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or
front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or
remain on continuously.Refer to “Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To Know Before Starting”
in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
– 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.
– Service Propulsion System Warning Light
The Service Propulsion System Warning Light will illuminate if there is a malfunction de-
tected with the Propulsion System.If the light comes on or remains on while driving, see
your authorized dealer.

– Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application.If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the brake system master
cylinder reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is
at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.In this case, the
light will remain on until the condition has been corrected.If the problem is related to
the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal
pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system.A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated
by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified level.The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD).In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.Immediate repair to the ABS system is re-
quired.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN position.The light should illuminate for approximately
two seconds.The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected.If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized
dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied.It does not show the degree of
brake application.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous.Part of the brake system
may have failed.It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision.Have
the vehicle checked immediately.

– Tire Pressure Monitoring System (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 ve-
hicle 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 Monitor-
ing 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 illumi-
nates, 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 increases high voltage battery consump-
tion 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.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.This se-
quence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.
