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 operate the
same as a warning lamp but do not
illuminate when you start your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control Indicator
(If Equipped) It illuminates when you switch
the system on. It illuminates white when the system is in
standby mode. It illuminates green when
you set the adaptive cruise speed.
See
Using Adaptive Cruise Control
(page 250).
Anti-Lock Braking System If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Indicator
(If Equipped) It illuminates when the system
automatically turns the
headlamp high beam on.
See
Automatic High Beam Control
(page 95).

Equipped) It illuminates if you manually
switch off the automatic regen
control.
See Diesel Particulate Filter (page 207).
Auto-Start-Stop Indicator (If Equipped) It illuminates when the engine
has automatically stopped. It

Low Washer Fluid Level Warning
Lamp
It illuminates when the washer
fluid is low.
Oil Pressure Warning Lamp It illuminates when you switch
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 356).
Parking Lamps It illuminates when you switch
the parking lamps on.
Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced
Power/Electronic Throttle Control Illuminates when the system has
detected a powertrain or a
four-wheel drive fault. Contact
an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
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.
See Emission Law (page 199).
Sport Mode Illuminates when you switch the
sport mode on.
Stability Control and Traction
Control Indicator Flashes during operation.
If it does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, or remains
on when the engine is running, this
indicates a malfunction. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
See Using Stability Control (page 234).
Stability Control and Traction
Control Off Warning Lamp It illuminates when you switch
the system off.
