the oil level can be checked on the display
upon entering the vehicle and also by acti-
vating the “Oil level” function on the Informa -
tion and Entertainment System.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Trunk Lid Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the trunk
lid is not properly closed, along with
the icon, an image of the vehicle with
an open trunk lid appears on the
display.
A buzzer is heard when the trunk lid is open
and the vehicle is moving.
Close the trunk lid properly.
Amber Symbols
Engine Immobilizer Failure/Break-In
Attempt
Engine Immobilizer System Failure
The telltale will illuminate to report a
failure of the Engine Immobilizer
system. Break-In Attempt
The telltale will illuminate
when the ignition is cycled to ON position, to
indicate a possible break-in attempt detected
by the alarm system.
Electronic Key Not Recognized The telltale will
illuminate when the engine is started and the
electronic key is not recognized by the system.
Alarm System Failure The telltale will illumi -
nate to report an alarm system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Fuel Cut-Off Indicator Light
The telltale will illuminate after an
accident has occurred and the
system has shut the fuel off.
For reactivating the fuel cut-off system
Ú
page 163. If it is not possible to restore the
fuel supply, contact an authorized dealer.
Park Sensors System Failure
The telltale will illuminate when the
system has failed or is not available.
Contact an authorized dealer to have
the system checked.
Engine Oil Change Required — If Equipped
The telltale is illuminated only for a
limited time.
NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine
is started the symbol will continue to illumi
-
nate as described above until the oil is
changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the oil
as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The dete -
rioration of engine oil is accelerated by using the
vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of engine oil pressure sensor
failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
If the LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE symbol
switches on when driving, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the symbol is switched
on, and never more than 500 miles (805 km)
after it first switches on. Failure to observe the
above may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. When this symbol comes on, it does
not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if
it flashes you do not need to top up the engine
oil.

SAFETY

(Continued)
(Continued)
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 imme
-
diately.
Exhaust Gas
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
accelerator, the brake, and the clutch
pedal (if present) to check for interfer -
ence. 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 accelerator, 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
interference 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.
WARNING! (Continued)
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventually
poison you. To avoid breathing (CO), follow
these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage
or in confined areas any longer than
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift -
gate/rear doors open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT
use the recirculation mode.
