4. Fuel Gauge
The gauge shows the level of fuel in the 
fuel tank when the ignition switch is in 
the ON/RUN position.
 The fuel pump symbol points 
to the side of the vehicle where 
the fuel door is located.
5. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine 
coolant temperature. Any reading within 
the normal range indicates that the 
engine cooling system is operating satis -
factorily.
The gauge can indicate a higher tempera -
ture when driving in hot weather or up 
mountain grades. It should not be 
allowed to exceed the upper limits of the 
normal operating range. NOTE:
The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb check 
when the ignition is first cycled.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY 
Your vehicle is equipped with an instrument 
cluster display, which offers useful information 
to the driver. With the ignition in the OFF 
position (and the key removed, for vehicles with 
mechanical key), opening/closing of a door will 
activate the display for viewing, and display the 
total miles or kilometers in the odometer. Your 
instrument cluster display is designed to display 
important information about your vehicle’s 
systems and features. Using a driver interactive 
display located on the instrument panel, your 
instrument cluster display can show you how 
systems are working and give you warnings 
when they are not. The steering wheel mounted 
controls allow you to scroll through and enter 
the main menus and submenus. You can 
access the specific information you want and 
make selections and adjustments.
WARNING!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system 
could damage your vehicle. If the 
temperature gauge reaches “H” pull over and 
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air 
conditioner turned off until the gauge drops 
back into the normal range and is no longer 
red. If the gauge remains on the “H”, turn the 
engine off immediately and call an authorized 
dealer for service.
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, refer to “Cooling System 
Pressure Cap” in “Servicing And 
Maintenance” for further information.

the light after engine start. The vehicle should 
be serviced if the light stays on through several 
typical driving styles. In most situations, the 
vehicle will drive normally and will not require 
towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash 
to alert serious conditions that could lead to 
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic 
converter damage. The vehicle should be 
serviced by an authorized dealer as soon as 
possible if this occurs.
Service Forward Collision Warning (FCW) 
Light — If Equipped
 This warning light will illuminate to 
indicate a fault in the Forward 
Collision Warning System. Contact an 
authorized dealer for service.
Refer to “Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With 
Mitigation” in “Safety” for further information.
Service Stop/Start System Warning Light — If 
Equipped
 This warning light will illuminate when 
the Stop/Start system is not 
functioning properly and service is 
required. Contact an authorized 
dealer for service. Refer to “Stop/Start System” 
in “Starting and Operating” for further 
instructions.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
Warning 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.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), 
should be checked monthly when cold and 
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended 
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle 
placard or tire inflation pressure label. If your 
vehicle has tires of a different size than the size 
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as 
referenced above, can reach higher 
temperatures than in normal operating 
conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive 
slowly or park over flammable substances 
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This 
could result in death or serious injury to the 
driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction 
Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause damage 
to the vehicle control system. It also could 
affect fuel economy and driveability. If the 
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter 
damage and power loss will soon occur. 
Immediate service is required.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat 
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop 
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and 
steering. If a tire puncture occurs, repair 
immediately using the dedicated tire repair 
kit and contact an authorized dealer as soon 
as possible.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL147
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation 
pressure label, you should determine the 
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has 
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring 
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire 
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is 
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when 
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you 
should stop and check your tires as soon as 
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. 
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire 
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire 
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel 
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the 
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for 
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s 
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, 
even if under-inflation has not reached the level 
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire 
pressure telltale.
 Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS 
malfunction indicator to indicate when the 
system is not operating properly. The TPMS 
malfunction indicator is combined with the low 
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a 
malfunction, the telltale will flash for 
approximately one minute and then remain 
continuously illuminated. This sequence will 
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as 
long as the malfunction exists. When the 
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system 
may not be able to detect or signal low tire 
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may 
occur for a variety of reasons, including the 
installation of replacement or alternate tires or 
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from 
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS 
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more 
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the 
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow 
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Yellow Indicator Lights
Forward Collision Warning Off Indicator Light 
— If Equipped
 This indicator light illuminates to 
indicate that Forward Collision 
Warning is off.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original 
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures 
and warning have been established for the tire 
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable 
system operation or sensor damage may result 
when using replacement equipment that is not 
of the same size, type, and/or style. 
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. 
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the 
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 
sensor to become inoperable. After using an 
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended 
that you take your vehicle to an authorized 
dealer to have your sensor function checked.

to rise to approximately 28 psi (193 kPa), but 
the TPMS Warning Light will still be on. In this 
situation, the TPMS Warning Light will turn off 
only after the tires are inflated to the vehicle’s 
recommended cold placard pressure value.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may 
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi 
(28 kPa) above the recommended cold placard 
pressure in order to turn the TPMS Warning 
Light off. NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to replace normal 
tire care and maintenance, or to provide 
warning of a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pres-
sure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire 
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to 
tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel 
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect 
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire 
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsi -
bility to maintain correct tire pressure using 
an accurate tire pressure gauge, even if 
underinflation has not reached the level to 
trigger illumination of the TPMS Warning 
Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect 
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the 
actual tire pressure in the tire.CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the orig -
inal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pres -
sures and warning have been established for 
the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Unde -
sirable system operation or sensor damage 
may result when using replacement equip -
ment that is not of the same size, type, and/
or style. The TPM sensor is not designed for 
use on aftermarket wheels and may 
contribute to a poor overall system perfor -
mance or sensor damage. Customers are 
encouraged to use OEM wheels to assure 
proper TPM feature operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause 
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System 
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After 
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is 
recommended that you take your vehicle to 
an authorized dealer to have your sensor 
function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres -
sure always reinstall the valve stem cap. 
This will prevent moisture and dirt from 
entering the valve stem, which could 
damage the TPMS sensor.

Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make 
Outside The Vehicle
Tires 
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and 
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, 
glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or 
sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.  Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. 
Check the wheel nuts for tightness. Check the 
tires (including spare) for proper cold inflation 
pressure.
Lights    
Have someone observe the operation of brake 
lights and exterior lights while you work the 
controls. Check turn signal and high beam 
indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches 
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks 
Check area under the vehicle after overnight 
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. 
Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, or 
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause 
should be located and corrected immediately.
ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on the 
driver’s side floor area. To check for inter
-
ference, with the vehicle properly parked 
with the engine off, fully depress the accel -
erator, the brake, and the clutch pedal (if 
present) to check for interference. If your 
floor mat interferes with the operation of 
any pedal, or is not secure to the floor, 
remove the floor mat from the vehicle and 
place the floor mat in your trunk.
ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat on 
the passenger’s side floor area.
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or 
slide into the driver’s side floor area when 
the vehicle is moving. Objects can become 
trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch 
pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle 
control.
NEVER place any objects under the floor 
mat (e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects 
could change the position of the floor mat 
and may cause interference with the accel -
erator, brake, or clutch pedals.
WARNING!  (Continued)
If the vehicle carpet has been removed and 
re-installed, always properly attach carpet 
to the floor and check the floor mat 
fasteners are secure to the vehicle carpet. 
Fully depress each pedal to check for inter -
ference with the accelerator, brake, or 
clutch pedals then re-install the floor mats.
It is recommended to only use mild soap 
and water to clean your floor mats. After 
cleaning, always check your floor mat has 
been properly installed and is secured to 
your vehicle using the floor mat fasteners 
by lightly pulling mat.
