Indicates engine coolant temperature. At
normal operating temperature, the level
indicator will be in the normal range. If the
engine coolant temperature exceeds the
normal range, stop your vehicle as soon as
safely possible, switch off the engine and let
the engine cool.
WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
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 function the
same as a warning lamp, but do not display
when you start your vehicle. Adaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped) The speed control system indicator
light changes color to indicate
what mode the system is in.
See
How Does Adaptive Cruise Control With
Stop and Go Work
(page 269).
On (white light): Illuminates when you switch
on the adaptive cruise control system. Turns
off when the speed control system is turned
off.
Engaged (green light): Illuminates when you
engage the adaptive cruise control system.
Turns off when you disengage the speed
control system.
Adaptive Steering
(If Equipped) The adaptive steering system
indicator illuminates if the system
detects a fault during the
continuous diagnostic checks. Adaptive Steering Initialization (yellow,
flashing): The adaptive steering system
detects a difference between steering wheel
angle and the desired road wheel angle. The
steering wheel adjusts itself to correct this
difference. This adjustment is part of normal
system operation.
Adaptive Steering Off (yellow, solid): The
adaptive steering system is off. It is possible
that the steering wheel may not be straight
when you drive straight ahead. If this
message persists, see an authorized dealer.
Adaptive Steering Loss (red, solid): The
adaptive steering system integrity cannot be
verified. Do not drive the vehicle and contact
an authorized dealer immediately.
See
Steering (page 299).
Anti-Lock Braking System If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a system
error. You continue to have the
normal braking (without ABS) unless the
brake system warning lamp also illuminates.
Have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK MINA
MAXB ENGINE OIL CHECK
To check the engine oil level consistently
and accurately, do the following:
1.
Make sure the parking brake is on. Make
sure the transmission is in park (P) or
neutral (N).
2. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
3. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
4. Switch the engine off and wait 15 minutes
for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
Checking the engine oil level too soon
after you switch the engine off may result
in an inaccurate reading. 5. Open the hood.
See Opening and
Closing the Hood (page 358).
6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
See Under Hood
Overview (page 360).
7. Reinstall the dipstick and remove it again
to check the oil level. See Under Hood
Overview
(page 360).
8. Make sure that the oil level is between the maximum and minimum marks. If the
oil level is at the minimum mark, add oil
immediately.
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 426).
9. If the oil level is correct, replace the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
Note: Do not remove the dipstick when the
engine is running.

5. Use a suitable tool, for example a
screwdriver or socket wrench, to turn the
adjuster clockwise or counterclockwise
to adjust the vertical aim of the
headlamp. The horizontal edge of the
brighter light should touch the horizontal
reference line.
6. Close the hood and switch off the lamps.
WASHER FLUID CHECK WARNING: If you operate your
vehicle in temperatures below 41.0°F (5°C),
use washer fluid with antifreeze protection.
Failure to use washer fluid with antifreeze
protection in cold weather could result in
impaired windshield vision and increase
the risk of injury or accident.
Note: The front and rear washer systems
are supplied from the same reservoir.
Add fluid to fill the reservoir if the level is low.
Only use a washer fluid that meets our
specifications.
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 421). State or local regulations on volatile organic
compounds may restrict the use of methanol,
a common windshield washer antifreeze
additive. Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents should be
used only if they provide cold weather
protection without damaging the vehicle
’s
paint finish, wiper blades or washer system.
FUEL FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel
filter that is integrated with the fuel tank.
Regular maintenance or replacement is not
needed.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or
water applied with a soft sponge or cloth.
CHANGING THE FRONT WIPER
BLADES - VEHICLES WITHOUT:
HEATED WIPER BLADES
You can improve poor wiper quality by
cleaning the wiper blades and the
windshield.
Replace the wiper blades at least annually
for optimum performance.
