Diesel Emissions Additive AdBlue® Warning Messages:
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Low Diesel Emissions Additive
AdBlue® Level WarningThe first low level warning will be given at around a 1,490 miles (2,400 km) range, and is determined
according to the current consumption rate. The “AdBlue® Low Level” warning light and message will
display on the instrument panel. The AdBlue® low level warning light will remains lit until the AdBlue®
tank is topped up with at least 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of AdBlue®.
If the level is not resolved, an additional warning appear whenever a certain threshold is reached until it
will no longer be possible to start the engine.
When 125 miles (200 km) are remaining before the AdBlue® tank is empty, a message will appear on
the instrument panel, accompanied by a buzzer sound. When the range is at zero, the display will show
a dedicated message (if equipped). In this case, the engine will not restart.
It will be possible to restart the engine again as soon as AdBlue® is added; the minimum amount
required is 1.32 gallons (5 Liters). Fill the AdBlue® tank as soon as possible with at least 1.32 gallons
(5 Liters) of AdBlue®. If filling is completed with autonomy tank AdBlue® to zero, it could be possible
to wait two minutes before starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
When the AdBlue® tank is empty, and the vehicle is stopped, it is no longer possible to restart the vehicle
until a minimum of 1.32 gallons (5 Liters) of AdBlue® is added to the AdBlue® tank.

— 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.

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 recom-
mended 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 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 Moni -
toring 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 tell -tale 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 illumi
-
nated. 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 instal -lation 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.
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.
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.

The Low Diesel Exhaust Emissions Additive
AdBlue® indicator light illuminates when
the AdBlue® (UREA) level is low.
Fill the AdBlue® tank as soon as possible
with at least 1.3 gallons (5 liters) of
AdBlue®.
If filling the tank is done with a remaining
range of AdBlue® in the tank equal to zero,
you may need to wait two minutes before
starting the vehicle.
Refer to “Adding AdBlue®” in “Starting And
Operating” for further information.
— Water In Fuel Indicator Light — If
Equipped
The “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will illu -
minate when there is water detected in the
fuel filter. If this light remains on, DO NOT start the vehicle before you drain the water
from the fuel filter to prevent engine
damage, and please see an authorized
dealer.
Green Indicator Lights
— Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Set With
No Target Detected Indicator Light — If

— Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Set With
Target Light — If Equipped
This will display when the ACC is set and a
target vehicle is detected. Refer to “Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) — If Equipped” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa -
tion.
— 4WD Auto Indicator Light — If
Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive auto mode. The
system will provide power to all four wheels
and shift the power between the front and
rear axles as needed. This will provide
maximum traction in dry and slippery condi -
tions.
— Active Speed Limiter SET Indicator
Light — If Equipped With A Premium
Instrument Cluster
This indicator light will illuminate when the
Active Speed Limiter is on and set to a
specific speed.
Refer to “Active Speed Limiter — If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information.
CAUTION!
The presence of water in the fuel system
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the indicator light is
illuminated, contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible to bleed the system. If
the above indications come on
immediately after refuelling, water has
probably been poured into the tank: switch
the engine off immediately and contact an
authorized dealer.

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.

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
pressure 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
responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure 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.
System Operation
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.Tire Pressure Monitoring Display
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure. The TPMS consists of the following compo
-
nents:Receiver module
Four tire pressure monitoring sensors
Various tire pressure monitoring system
messages, which display in the instrument
cluster
Tire pressure monitoring telltale light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The TPMS Warning Light will illu -
minate in the instrument cluster
and a chime will sound when tire
pressure is low in one or more of the four
active road tires. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "Tire Low" message for
a minimum of five seconds and a graphic
showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values in a different
color.
