Lane Keeping System Lamp (If
Equipped)
Lights when you activate thelane keeping system.
Low Fuel Level
Lights when the fuel level is lowor the fuel tank is nearly empty.Refuel as soon as possible.
Low Tire Pressure Warning
Lights when your tire pressure islow. If the lamp remains on withthe engine running or whendriving, check your tire pressure as soon aspossible.
To confirm the lamp is working, it will alsolight momentarily when you switch on theignition. If it does not light when you switchon the ignition, or it begins to flash at anytime, have an authorized dealer check thesystem.
Parking Lamps
Lights when you switch on theparking lamps.
Powertrain Fault
Lights when your vehicle detectsa powertrain fault. Contact anauthorized dealer as soon aspossible.

•When the engine is on, reducing powerdemand to less than the threshold willallow the engine to turn off.
You can also see an instantaneous fueleconomy gauge.
Note:You can reset your average fueleconomy by pressing and holding the OKbutton on the left hand steering wheelcontrols.
