INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
WARNING LAMPS
Anti-Lock Brake System
If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Battery It illuminates when you switch
the ignition on.
If it illuminates when the engine
is running, this indicates your vehicle
requires service. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Brake System It illuminates when you apply the
parking brake and the ignition is
on. If it illuminates when your
vehicle is moving, make sure the
parking brake is released. If the
parking brake is released, this
indicates low brake fluid level or the brake
system requires service. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Note: Indicators may vary depending on
region.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Illuminates when the diesel
exhaust fluid is low,
contaminated or the system
requires service. See What Is the
Selective Catalytic Reduction System
(page
273). Door Ajar It illuminates when you switch
the ignition on and remains on if
any door is open.
Electric Parking Brake It illuminates or flashes when the
electric parking brake requires
service.
Engine Coolant Temperature If it illuminates, safely stop your
vehicle and switch the vehicle
off.
Fasten Seatbelt It illuminates and a tone sounds
until you fasten the seatbelts.
Hood Ajar It illuminates when the ignition
is on and the hood is not
completely closed.
Low Fuel Level It illuminates when the fuel level
is low.
Low Tire Pressure It illuminates when your tire
pressure is low. If illuminated,
check your tire pressure as soon
as possible. If it begins to flash at anytime,
have the system checked as soon as
possible.
Low Washer Fluid Level It illuminates when the washer
fluid is low.

•
Unplug and properly stow the system
before starting and driving your vehicle.
The protective cover seals the
terminals of the engine block heater
cord plug when not in use.
• Check the engine block heater system
for proper operation before winter.
HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCK
HEATER WORK
The engine block heater warms the engine
coolant. This allows the climate control
system to quickly respond. The equipment
includes a heater element installed in the
engine block and a wire harness. You can
connect the system to a grounded
220-240 volt AC electrical source.
Note: The engine block heater is most
effective when outdoor temperatures are
below 0°F (-18°C).
USING THE ENGINE BLOCK
HEATER
Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hours
of energy per hour of use. The system does
not have a thermostat. It achieves
maximum temperature after
approximately three hours of operation.
Using the engine block heater longer than
three hours does not improve system
performance and unnecessarily uses
electricity. STOPPING THE ENGINE
STOPPING THE ENGINE WHEN
YOUR VEHICLE IS STATIONARY -
VEHICLES WITHOUT: PUSH
BUTTON START
1. Shift into park (P).
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Wait until the engine reaches idle
speed. 4. Turn the key to position
0.
