passenger airbag status
indicator lights to indicate that
the front passenger frontal
airbag is off and will not inflate in
a collision.
See Passenger Sensing System
0 56 for more information.
Charging System Light
This light will come on briefly when
the ignition is turned on, and the
engine is not running, as a check to
show it is working.
It should go out when the engine is
started. If it stays on, or comes on
while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery. If a short
distance must be driven with the light on, turn off all accessories,
such as the radio and air
conditioner, to help reduce the drain
on the battery.
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine
Light)
A computer system called OBD II
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second
Generation) monitors the operation
of the vehicle to ensure emissions
are at acceptable levels, helping to
maintain a clean environment. The
malfunction indicator lamp comes
on when the vehicle is placed in
ON, as a check to show it is
working. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer. See
Ignition Positions
0145 for more
information.
If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on while the engine is
running, this indicates that the
OBD II system has detected a
problem and diagnosis and service
might be required.
Malfunctions often are indicated by
the system before any problem is
apparent. Being aware of the light
can prevent more serious damage
to the vehicle. This system also
assists the service technician in
correctly diagnosing any
malfunction.
Caution
If the vehicle is continually driven
with this light on, the emission
controls might not work as well,
the vehicle fuel economy might
not be as good, and the engine
might not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs that
might not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.

92 Instruments and Controls
Caution
Modifications made to the engine,
transmission, exhaust, intake,
or fuel system of the vehicle or
the replacement of the original
tires with other than those of the
same size and type as the
originals can affect the vehicle's
emission controls and can cause
this light to come on.
Modifications to these systems
could lead to costly repairs not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
This could also result in a failure
to pass a required Emission
Inspection/Maintenance test. See
Accessories and Modifications
0178.
This light comes on during a
malfunction in one of two ways:
Light Flashing : A misfire condition
has been detected. A misfire
increases vehicle emissions and
could damage the emission control
system on the vehicle. Diagnosis
and service might be required. To prevent more serious damage to
the vehicle:
.
Do not drive at speeds above
72 km/h (45 mph)
. Avoid hard accelerations.
. Avoid steep uphill grades.
If the light continues to flash, find a
safe place to stop and park the
vehicle. Turn the vehicle off, wait at
least 10 seconds, and restart the
engine. If the light is still flashing,
follow the previous steps and see
your dealer for service as soon as
possible.
Light On Steady : An emission
control system malfunction has
been detected on the vehicle.
Diagnosis and service might be
required.
The following may correct an
emission control system
malfunction:
. Check that the fuel cap is fully
installed. See Filling the Tank
0 172. The diagnostic system
can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel
cap allows fuel to evaporate into
the atmosphere. A few driving
trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light off.
. Check that good quality fuel is
used. Poor fuel quality causes
the engine not to run as
efficiently as designed and may
cause stalling after start-up,
stalling when the vehicle is
changed into gear, misfiring,
hesitation on acceleration,
or stumbling on acceleration.
These conditions might go away
once the engine is warmed up.
If one or more of these conditions
occurs, change the fuel brand used.
It may require at least one full tank
of the proper fuel to turn the light off.
See Fuel 0170.
If none of the above have made the
light turn off, your dealer can check
the vehicle. The dealer has the
proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to fix any
mechanical or electrical problems
that might have developed.

132 Climate Controls
Maintenance
Service
This vehicle may have the new
environmentally friendly refrigerant,
R1234yf. This refrigerant has a
significantly reduced global warming
impact on the environment,
compared to the traditional
automotive refrigerant, R-134a. All
vehicles have a label underhood
that identifies the refrigerant used in
the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only
be serviced by trained and certified
technicians. The air conditioning
evaporator should never be repaired
or replaced by one from a salvage
vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure
proper and safe operation.During service, all refrigerants
should be reclaimed with proper
equipment. Venting refrigerants
directly to the atmosphere is harmful
to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite,
or other health-based concerns.

.Turn on Traction Control. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0158.
. The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) improves vehicle stability
during hard stops, but the
brakes should be applied sooner
than when on dry pavement.
See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) 0155.
. Allow greater following distance
and watch for slippery spots. Icy
patches can occur on otherwise
clear roads in shaded areas.
The surface of a curve or an
overpass can remain icy when
the surrounding roads are clear.
Avoid sudden steering
maneuvers and braking while
on ice.
. Turn off cruise control.Blizzard Conditions

154 Driving and Operating
Each time the engine is started,
or when the shift lever is shifted to
any position other than D (Drive),
the Overdrive off mode will be
automatically turned off.
Accelerator Downshift in D
Position
For passing or hill climbing, press
the accelerator pedal to the floor.
This shifts the transmission down
into a lower gear, depending on the
vehicle speed.
High Fluid Temperature
Protection Mode
If the fluid temperature becomes too
high from climbing a steep grade in
high temperatures, such as towing a
trailer. Engine power and vehicle
speed will be decreased
automatically to reduce the chance
of transmission damage. Vehicle
speed can be controlled with the
accelerator pedal but the engine
and vehicle speed may be limited.Fail Safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs,
the CVT will not be shifted into the
selected driving position.
If the vehicle is driven under
extreme conditions, such as
excessive wheel spinning and
subsequent hard braking, the
fail-safe system may be activated.
The malfunction indicator lamp may
come on to indicate the fail-safe
mode is activated. See
Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 091. This will occur even if all
electrical circuits are functioning
properly. In this case, place the
ignition switch in the OFF position
and wait for 10 seconds. Then place
the ignition switch back in the ON
position. The vehicle should return
to its normal operating condition. If it
does not return to its normal
operating condition, have a dealer
check the transmission and repair if
necessary.
{Warning
When the high fluid temperature
protection mode or fail-safe
operation occurs, vehicle speed
may be gradually reduced. The
reduced speed may be lower than
other traffic, which could increase
the chance of a collision. Be
especially careful when driving.
If necessary, pull to the side of
the road at a safe place and allow
the transmission to return to
normal operation, or have it
repaired if necessary.
