Warning!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous.
You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to
call an authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under
the hood yourself, see “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”. Follow the warnings under the
Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
Caution!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads “H” pull over and
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the pointer
remains on the “H”, turn the engine off
immediately and call an authorized dealer
for service.

The digital bar gauge shows the
amount of fuel in the tank.
Thewarning light turns on, a
message is displayed and there is an
acoustic signal when about 2.4 gallons
(9 liters) of fuel are left in the tank.
The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel door is

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DISPLAY
Instrument Cluster Display Description
This vehicle is equipped with a
driver-interactive display that is located
in the instrument cluster.
When one or more of the doors have been
opened or closed and the ignition is in the
OFF position, the instrument cluster will
display the vehicle mileage for a few
seconds.

In RACE mode, the consumption
indication index is not active and a sports
gearshift indicator is displayed. The
sports gearshift indicator is represented
by three yellow segments; if the third
indicator, characterized by the word
"SHIFT,” is on, it means that the gear
should be shifted.Trip A And B
For all driving modes (Dynamic, Natural,
Advanced Efficiency, and RACE) with the
ignition device ON, the "Trip computer"
can be used to display the measurements
regarding the operating state of the
vehicle. This function is characterized by
two separate records, called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” (the latter can be deactivated by
Information and Entertainment System),
where the “complete missions” (journeys)
are recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Active trip
Fuel consumption indicatorTo reset the values, push and hold down
the MENU button on the windshield wiper
stalk.

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID/ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
ON
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 anti-lock brake system 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.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 four 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.
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It
does not show the degree of brake application.
For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to
have the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has turned off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous turning on of the BRAKE (red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is
not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly
lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
If the light is either not on during startup, stays on, or
turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible. This light will
illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the Air
Bag Warning Light has been detected, it will stay on until
the fault is cleared. If the light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving, have an authorized dealer
service the vehicle immediately.If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER WARNING LIGHT
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN position,
if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound
and the light will turn on. When driving, if the driver or
front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will flash or remain on continuously
and a chime will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in
“Safety” for further information.
Always wear your seat belt when operating the vehicle.
OIL TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
This telltale indicates engine oil temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as
possible. If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the turning on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not indicate any
faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a
lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.

Amber Warning Lights
WarningLight What It Means What To Do
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (ABS) INDICATOR LIGHT
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light
will turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position
and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and
service is required. However, the conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the brake indicator light is not
on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as
soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If
the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized
dealer. Drive carefully and contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING INDICATOR LIGHT
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to
indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the recommended
value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases,
optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above,
the display will show the indications corresponding to each tire
in sequence.
Continue driving for up to 50 miles (80 km) at a speed no higher
then 50 mph (80 km/h). Contact an authorized dealer to have
the tire repaired.

When the ignition is cycled to ON, the indicator light
illuminates, but should turn off as soon as the engine is
started.
ESC System Intervention
: Intervention by the system is
indicated by the flashing of the indicator light: it indicates
that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC System Failure : If the indicator light does not turn off,
or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found
in the ESC system. In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Hill Start Assist System Failure : The illumination of the
indicator light indicates a Hill Start Assist system failure.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) OFF
INDICATOR LIGHT
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the indicator light
illuminates, but should turn off as soon as the engine is
started.
The indicator light illuminates to indicate that some active
safety systems have been partially or totally deactivated.
