Direction Indicator
Illuminates when you switch on the
left or right direction indicator or
the hazard flasher. If the indicators
stay on or flash faster, check for a burned
out bulb. See Changing a Bulb (page 377).
Distance Alert Flashes when your vehicle is
rapidly approaching another
vehicle or a pedestrian within your
driving path. See Pre-Collision Assist (page
300
).
Door Ajar Illuminates when the ignition is on
and any door is not completely
closed.
Electric Park Brake
Note: Indicators vary depending on region. Illuminates or flashes when the
electric parking brake has a system
error.
See Electric Parking Brake
(page 236).
Engine Coolant Temperature Illuminates when the engine
coolant temperature is high. Stop
your vehicle as soon as possible,
switch off the engine and let it cool.
See
Engine Coolant Check (page 364).
Engine Oil If it illuminates with the engine
running or when you are driving,
this indicates a system error. Stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch the engine off. Check the engine
oil level. See Engine Oil Check (page 361).
Note: Do not resume your journey if it
illuminates despite the level being correct.
Have the system checked by an authorized
dealer immediately. Fasten Seatbelt Illuminates and a tone sounds to
remind you to fasten your seatbelt.
See Seatbelt Reminder (page 47).
Fasten Rear Seatbelt Illuminates and a tone sounds to
signal the rear seatbelts are not
fastened.

start your vehicle, continues to
flash or remains on, it indicates
there is a system error. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.
Front Fog Lamps
(If Equipped) Illuminates when you switch the
front fog lamps on.

Service Engine Soon
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
system errors 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 Catalytic Converter (page 220).
If it illuminates when the engine is running
this indicates a system error. The On Board
Diagnostics system has detected an error in
the vehicle emission control system.
If it flashes, engine misfire may be occurring.
Continuing to drive your vehicle may cause
reduced power or the engine to stop. Failure
to respond to the warning lamp may cause
component damage not covered by the
vehicle Warranty. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. Stability Control It flashes when the system is
active. If it remains illuminated or
does not illuminate when you
switch the ignition on, this indicates a system
error. During a system error the system
switches off. Have the system checked by
an authorized dealer immediately.
See
Using Stability Control (page 247).
Stability Control Off Illuminates when you switch the
system off. It goes out when you
switch the system back on or when
you switch the ignition off.
See Using
Stability Control (page 247).
Tow Haul Indicator
(If Equipped) Illuminates when the system turns
tow haul on.AUDIBLE WARNINGS AND
INDICATORS

If the service engine soon indicator remains
on, have your vehicle serviced at the first
available opportunity. Although some
malfunctions detected by the OBD-II may not
have symptoms that are apparent, continued
driving with the service engine soon indicator
on can result in increased emissions, lower
fuel economy, reduced engine and
transmission smoothness and lead to more
costly repairs.
Readiness for Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M) Testing
Some state and provincial and local
governments may have
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) programs to
inspect the emission control equipment on
your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection
could prevent you from getting a vehicle
registration.
If the service engine soon indicator
is on or the bulb does not work,
your vehicle may need service.
See On-Board Diagnostics. Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test if the
service engine soon indicator is on or not
working properly (bulb is burned out), or if
the OBD-II system has determined that some
of the emission control systems have not
been properly checked. In this case, the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.
If the vehicle
’s engine or transmission has
just been serviced, or the battery has
recently run down or been replaced, the
OBD-II system may indicate that the vehicle
is not ready for I/M testing. To determine if
the vehicle is ready for I/M testing, turn the
ignition key to the on position for 15 seconds
without cranking the engine. If the service
engine soon indicator blinks eight times, it
means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M
testing; if the service engine soon indicator
stays on solid, it means that your vehicle is
ready for I/M testing.
The OBD-II system checks the emission
control system during normal driving. A
complete check may take several days.
If the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing, you
can perform the following driving cycle
consisting of mixed city and highway driving: 1. 15 minutes of steady driving on an
expressway or highway followed by 20
minutes of stop-and-go driving with at
least four 30-second idle periods.
2. Allow your vehicle to sit for at least eight
hours with the ignition off. Then, start the
vehicle and complete the above driving
cycle. The vehicle must warm up to its
normal operating temperature. Once
started, do not turn off the vehicle until
the above driving cycle is complete.
If the vehicle is still not ready for I/M testing,
you need to repeat the above driving cycle.

SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION (IF
EQUIPPED)
Principle of Operation WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING: You must remain in your
vehicle when the system turns on. At all
times, you are responsible for controlling
your vehicle, supervising the system and
intervening, if required. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. The system detects recognizable traffic
signs, for example:
•
Speed limit signs.
• No overtaking signs.
• Speed limit cancellation signs.
• No overtaking cancellation signs.
It continuously monitors road signs to inform
you of the current maximum speed limit and
overtaking regulations. The sensor is behind
the interior rear view mirror.
Note: In cold and severe weather conditions
the system may not function. Rain, snow,
spray and large contrasts in lighting can all
prevent the sensor from functioning correctly.
Note: Do not carry out windshield repairs in
the immediate area surrounding the sensor.
Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may not
correctly function.
Note: Always use original parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
Note: The system may not detect all traffic
signs and may incorrectly read signs. Note:
Keep the windshield free from
obstructions, for example, bird droppings,
insects and snow or ice.
Note: If the system has navigation, traffic
sign data provided by the navigation system
contains information integrated to the data
carrier release.
Using Traffic Sign Recognition
Setting the System Speed Warning
The system has a number of speed warning
levels that you can set using the information
display. See General Information (page
130).
System Display
The system can display two traffic signs in
parallel.
You can view the status at any time using
the information display.

Vertical Aim Adjustment Procedure
1. Park your vehicle on level ground approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) from a wall or
screen. 2. Measure the distance from the ground
to the center of the headlamp high beam
bulb and mark an
8 ft (2.4 m) long
horizontal reference line on the wall or
screen at this height.
Note: There may be an identifying mark on
the lens to help you locate the center line of
the headlamp high beam bulb.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the light
from one headlamp while adjusting the
other.
3. Switch on the low beam headlamps and
open the hood. 4.
On the wall or screen you will observe a
flat zone of high intensity light located at
the top of the beam pattern. If the top
edge of the flat zone of high intensity
light is not on the horizontal reference
line, adjust the aim of the headlamp
beam. 374
