Learn about the indicators, gauges, and displays related to driving the \
vehicle.
Indicators briefly appear with each engine start and then go out. Red \
and amber
indicators are most critical. Blue and green indicators are used for gen\
eral
information.
Malfunction Indicators
These are the most critical indicators. If they come on and stay lit whi\
le driving or at
any other time, there may be a problem. See your dealer if necessary.
Brake system
• Brake fluid is low.
• The brake system has a problem.
Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure. If normal, check \
the brake fluid level when you stop. If abnormal, take immediate actio\
n. If
necessary, downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle using engine
braking. Have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Low oil pressure
Engine oil pressure is low. Stop in a safe place. Open the hood. Check the oil
level, and add oil if necessary (see page 96). If the indicator does n\
ot turn
off, have your vehicle repaired immediately.
Charging system
The battery is not charging. Turn off all electrical items, but do not turn off
the vehicle to prevent further battery discharge. Have your vehicle repa\
ired
immediately.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
There is a problem with one of the airbag systems or seat belt tensioner\
s.
Canada
U.S.
INSTRUMENT PANELMalfunction indicator lamp (check engine light)
The emissions control system may have a problem, or the fuel cap is loos\
e
or missing. If the indicator blinks, a
misfire in the engine’s cylinders is
detected. Stop in a safe place, and wait for the engine to cool down.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
There is a problem with the anti-lock brake system. Your vehicle still has
normal braking ability, but no anti-lock function.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (U.S. models only)
If the indicator blinks for one minute and then stays on, there is a pro\
blem
with the system.
Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA
®)
There is a problem with the VSA system or hill start assist system.
Brake system
There is a problem with a braking system component or the electric parking
brake.
Electric power steering
There is a problem with the system. Stop in a safe place, and restart th\
e
vehicle.
IMA (Integrated Motor Assist)
There is a problem with the system. Avoid high speed driving and have your
vehicle repaired immediately.
High temperature
The engine coolant temperature is high. Drive slowly to prevent overheat\
ing.
If the indicator remains on, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe plac\
e (see
page 83).
Low temperature
The engine coolant temperature is low. If the indicator remains on after the
engine has reached normal operating temperature, there may be a problem \
with temperature sensors.

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diag\
nostic system.
Some states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions
components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the
emissions testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnec\
ted.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine\
. The
malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes \
off, the
readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes \
are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle emissions tested before the rea\
diness codes
are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1.
Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2.
Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3.
Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°\
C and 3
5°C).
4.
Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle\
for 20
seconds.
5.
Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral (manual transmission). Incre\
ase
the
engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6.
Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7.
Select a nearby
, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed
of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the \
highway with
the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear (manual transmission). Do not u\
se cruise
control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without using the a\
ccelerator
pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for
a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive for at le\
ast 30
seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8.
Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic\
conditions
allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal.
9.
Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set\
again
only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If an emissions testing facility determines that the readiness codes are\
not
set, you
may be requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see \
your dealer.
