cluster will come on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN posi -
tion, and when ESC is activated. It should go
out with the engine running. If the “ESC
Indicator Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has been
detected in the ESC system. If this warning
light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when
the Transmission Temperature Warning

— Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Warning Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diag -
nostic System called OBD II that monitors
engine and automatic transmission control
systems. This warning light will illuminate
when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position
before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the ignition switch
from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition
checked promptly. Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may
illuminate 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. 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.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.
This system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and transmission control
systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current govern -
ment regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the
OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diag -
nostic codes and other information to assist
your service technician in making repairs.
Although your vehicle will usually be drive -
able and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard
Diagnostic system (OBD II) and a connection
port to allow access to information related to
the performance of your emissions controls.
Authorized service technicians may need to
access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system. For further information, refer to “Cybersecu-
rity” in “Multimedia” in your Owner’s
Manual.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle
must be serviced before any emissions
tests can be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter
damage and power loss will soon occur.
Immediate service is required.
WARNING!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued)
If unauthorized equipment is connected
to the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems, including safety related systems,could be impaired or a loss of vehicle
control could occur that may result in
an accident involving serious injury
or death.
Access, or allow others to access, information stored in your vehicle
systems, including personal informa-
tion.

SAFETY
SAFETY FEATURES
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides
increased vehicle stability and brake perfor-
mance under most braking conditions. The
system automatically prevents wheel lock,
and enhances vehicle control during braking.
The ABS performs a self-check cycle to
ensure that the ABS is working properly each
time the vehicle is started and driven. During
this self-check, you may hear a slight
clicking sound as well as some related motor
noises.
ABS is activated during braking when the
system detects one or more wheels begin to
lock. Road conditions such as ice, snow,
gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris,
or panic stops may increase the likelihood of
ABS activation(s). You also may experience the following when
ABS activates:
The ABS motor noise (it may continue to
run for a short time after the stop)
The clicking sound of solenoid valves
Brake pedal pulsations
A slight drop of the brake pedal at the end
of the stop
These are all normal characteristics of ABS.
ABS is designed to function with the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tires. Modi-
fication may result in degraded ABS perfor -
mance.
Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light
The yellow “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light”
will turn on when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN mode and may stay on for as long
as four seconds.
WARNING!

The ABS contains sophisticated electronic
equipment that may be susceptible to inter -
ference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment.
This interference can cause possible loss of
anti-lock braking capability. Installation of
such equipment should be performed by
qualified professionals.

Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may
lead to a collision. Pumping makes the
stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase braking or steering effi -
ciency beyond that afforded by the
condition of the vehicle brakes and tires
or the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety
of others.

If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light”
remains on or comes on while driving, it indi-
cates that the anti-lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and that service is
required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if
the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on,
the brake system should be serviced as soon
as possible to restore the benefits of
anti-lock brakes. If the “Anti-Lock Brake
Warning Light” does not come on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN mode, have
the light repaired as soon as possible.
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) System

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system. This
system includes Electronic Brake Force Distri -
bution (EBD), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),
Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill Start Assist
(HSA), Traction Control System (TCS), Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC), and Electronic
Roll Mitigation (ERM). These systems work
together to enhance both vehicle stability and
control in various driving conditions.
Your vehicle may also be equipped with
Trailer Sway Control (TSC), Ready Alert
Braking (RAB), Rain Brake Support (RBS),
and Hill Descent Control (HDC).
Brake System Warning Light
The red “Brake System Warning Light” will
turn on when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN mode and may stay on for as long
as four seconds.
If the “Brake System Warning Light”
remains on or comes on while driving, it indi
-
cates that the brake system is not func -
tioning properly and that immediate service
is required. If the “Brake System Warning
Light” does not come on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN mode, have the light
repaired as soon as possible.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The Brake Assist System (BAS) is designed
to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability
during emergency braking maneuvers. The
system detects an emergency braking situa -
tion by sensing the rate and amount of brake
application and then applies optimum pres -
sure to the brakes. This can help reduce
braking distances. The BAS complements
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best
BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of the
system, you must apply continuous braking
pressure during the stopping sequence, (do
not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake
pedal pressure unless braking is no longer
desired. Once the brake pedal is released,
the BAS is deactivated.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. BAS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities
of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner, which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.
