valid key.
If the alarm is triggered, the horn will sound
for 30 seconds and the hazard warning
flasher will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.
Arming the Alarm
To arm the alarm, lock your vehicle. See
Doors and Locks (page 57).
Disarming the Alarm
Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking
the doors with the key and switching the

USING POWER RUNNING
BOARDS
WARNINGS
In extreme climates, excessive ice
buildup may occur, causing the
running boards not to deploy. Make
sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. The running
boards will resume normal function once
the blockage is cleared. Switch off the running boards before
jacking or placing any object under
your vehicle. Never place your hand
between the extended running board and
your vehicle. A moving running board may
cause injury. Note:
Do not use the power running boards,
front and rear hinge assemblies, running
board motors or the running board
underbody mounts to lift your vehicle when
jacking. Always use proper jacking points.
Note: The power running boards may
operate more slowly in cool temperatures.
Note: The running board mechanism may
trap debris such as mud, dirt, snow, ice and
salt. This may cause unwanted noise. If this
happens, manually set the power running
boards to the deployed position. Then wash
the system in particular the front and rear
hinge arms with a high-pressure car wash
wand.
Note: If you drive off when the power
running boards are deployed the engine may
stop.
Note: In the event of a malfunction you can
stow the power running boards manually. Automatic Power Deploy
The power running boards automatically
extend down and out when you open the
door. This can help you enter and exit your
vehicle.
Automatic Power Stow
When you close the doors, the power
running boards return to the stowed
position after a two-second delay.
Manual Power Deploy
You can manually operate the power
running boards in the information display.
See General Information (page 85).

WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
illuminate when you start your vehicle to
make sure they work. If any lamps remain
on after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and operate the
same as a warning lamp but do not
illuminate when you start your vehicle.
Airbag Warning Lamp If it does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, continues
to flash or remains on when the
engine is running, this indicates a
malfunction. Have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Lamp If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Brake System Warning Lamp WARNING
Driving extended distances with the
parking brake engaged can cause
brake failure and the risk of personal
injury. It illuminates when you engage
the parking brake and the
ignition is on. If it illuminates when your vehicle is
moving, make sure the parking brake is
disengaged. If the parking brake is
disengaged, this indicates low brake fluid
level or a brake system fault. Have your
vehicle checked immediately.
Diesel Warning Lamps (If Equipped)
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Warning Lamp It illuminates when the diesel
exhaust fluid is low.
If it illuminates, the information
display message advises whether it is
diesel exhaust fluid level related or due to
a system malfunction. If the diesel exhaust
fluid level is sufficient, this indicates a
system malfunction. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Glow Plug Indicator If it illuminates, wait until it turns
off before starting.
Water In Fuel Warning Lamp When you start the engine the
water in fuel indicator lamp turns
off after a short period of time.
If it illuminates when the engine is running
this indicates there is excess water in the

7 fl oz (200 ml)
of water accumulates in
the fuel filter water trap. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Alternatively you may be able to drain the
fuel filter water trap.
See
Draining the Fuel Filter Water Trap
