This feature does not turn on the exterior
lamps:
•
during a mist wipe
• while the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition
• if the wipers are in automatic or
intermittent modes.
Note: If you have autolamps and autowipers
switched on the low beam headlamps will
turn on automatically when the windshield
wipers operate continuously.
Note: You may have to manually switch the
headlamps on in severe weather conditions.
Note: If you have autolamps switched on
you can only switch the high beam

by pulling the direction indicator toward you
again or switching the ignition on.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS WARNING
Always remember to switch your
headlamps on in low light situations or
during inclement weather. The system does
not activate the tail lamps and may not
provide adequate lighting during these
conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result
in a collision. The system switches the lamps on in daylight
conditions.

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 function the
same as a warning lamp, but do not display
when you start your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped) The speed control system indicator
light changes color to indicate
what mode the system is in:
See
Using Adaptive Cruise Control (page 230).
On (white light): Illuminates when the
adaptive cruise control system is turned on.
Turns off when the speed control system is
turned off. Engaged (green light): Illuminates when the
adaptive cruise control system is engaged.
Turns off when the speed control system is
disengaged.
Adaptive Steering
(If Equipped)
The adaptive steering system
indicator illuminates if the system
detects a fault during the
continuous diagnostic checks.
Adaptive Steering Initialization (yellow,
flashing): The adaptive steering system
detects a difference between steering wheel
angle and the desired road wheel angle. The
steering wheel adjusts itself to correct this
difference. This adjustment is part of normal
system operation.
Adaptive Steering Off (yellow, solid): The
adaptive steering system is off. It is possible
that the steering wheel may not be straight
when you drive straight ahead. If this
message persists, see an authorized dealer. Adaptive Steering Loss (red, solid): The
adaptive steering system integrity cannot be
verified. Do not drive the vehicle and contact
an authorized dealer immediately.
See
Steering (page 251).
Anti-Lock Braking System If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You continue to have
the normal braking system (without ABS)
unless the brake system warning lamp is also
illuminated. Have the system checked by
your authorized dealer.
Autohold Active Illuminates when the system holds
your vehicle stationary.
Autohold Unavailable Illuminates when the system is on,
but unavailable to hold your
vehicle stationary.

Low Beam Malfunction Warning Lamp
(If Equipped)
It illuminates when there is a
malfunction with the low beam
headlamp bulb.
Low Washer Fluid Illuminates when the windshield
washer fluid is low.
Parking Lamps Illuminates when you switch the
parking lamps on.
Powertrain Fault Illuminates when a powertrain or
an AWD fault has been detected.
Contact your authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon indicator
light stays illuminated after the
engine is started, it indicates that
the On Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has
detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On board
diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel and Refueling
chapter for more information about having
your vehicle serviced. See Emission Control
System (page 183).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your catalytic
converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and
have your vehicle serviced immediately. WARNING
Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other
vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.
Have an authorized dealer service your
vehicle immediately. The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first turned
on prior to engine start to check the bulb and
to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light stays
on until you crank the engine, then turns
itself off if no malfunctions are present.
However, if after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.
See Emission Control System (page 183).
Stability Control It flashes when the system is
active. If it remains illuminated or
does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, this indicates a
malfunction. During a malfunction the system
switches off. Have the system checked by
your authorized dealer immediately.
See
Using Stability Control (page 210).

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine speeds
can produce very high temperatures
in the engine and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire or other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the engine
compartment and exhaust system, creating
the risk of fire. Do not start the engine in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine. If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer immediately. Do not
drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles (8
kilometers) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving characteristics
during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note:
The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a
cell phone.
Note: A valid passive key must be located
inside your vehicle to switch the ignition on
and start your vehicle. Ignition Modes
The keyless starting system has three
modes:
Off: Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the brake pedal, press
and release the button once when the
ignition is in the on mode, or when your
vehicle is running but is not moving.
On:
All electrical circuits are operational and
the warning lamps and indicators illuminate.
• Without applying the brake pedal, press
and release the button once.
