the ignition on.
If it illuminates when the engine
is running this indicates a malfunction.
Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so and switch the engine off. Check the
engine oil level. If the oil level is sufficient,
this indicates a system malfunction. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
See Engine Oil Check (page 141).
Fasten Seatbelt Warning Lamp It illuminates and a tone sounds
until you fasten the seatbelts.
Headlamp High Beam Indicator It illuminates when you switch

detects a powertrain fault, have
an authorized dealer check the

Service Engine Soon If it illuminates when the engine
is running this indicates a
malfunction. The On Board
Diagnostics system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emission control
system.
If it flashes, engine misfire may be
occurring. Increased exhaust gas
temperatures could damage the catalytic
converter or other vehicle components.
Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and have
your vehicle immediately serviced.
It illuminates when you switch the ignition
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether your vehicle is
ready for Inspection and Maintenance
(I/M) testing.
Normally, it illuminates until the engine is
cranked and automatically turns off if no
malfunctions are present. However, if after
15 seconds it flashes eight times, this
indicates that your vehicle is not ready for
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing.

Miles (km) to E
This displays an estimate of approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel
remaining in your tank under normal driving
conditions. Remember to switch the
ignition off when refueling to allow this
feature to detect the added fuel correctly.
Based on your recent driving history of 500
miles (800 km), the system calculates the
distance to empty using a running average
fuel economy. This value is not the same
as the average fuel economy display. The
running average fuel economy re-initializes
to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
XX.X AVG MPG (L/100km)
Average fuel economy displays your
average fuel economy in miles/gallon or
liters/100 km. MPG (L/km)
This displays instantaneous fuel economy
as a bar graph. Your vehicle must be
moving to calculate instantaneous fuel
economy. You cannot reset instantaneous
fuel economy.
