Oil Change Indicator System — If
Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will display in the instrument
cluster display for five seconds after a single
chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based,
which means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate, dependent upon your
personal driving style.
To have the oil changed, please refer to an
authorized dealer.
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is
enabled on vehicles with a manual transmis
-
sion, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The
GSI provides the driver with a visual indica -
tion when the recommended gear shift point
has been reached. This indication notifies
the driver that changing gears will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption. When the up
shift indicator is shown on the instrument
cluster display, the GSI is advising the driver
to engage a higher gear. When the down shift
indicator is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI remains illuminated until the driver
changes gears, or the driving conditions
return to a situation where changing gear is
not required to improve fuel consumption.

The system only warns the tire pressure is
low: it is not able to inflate them.
Yellow Indicator Lights — Active Speed Limiter Fault Indicator
Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to signal
when there is a fault detected with the Active
Speed Limiter.
— Forward Collision Warning Off
Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light indicates that Forward Collision
Warning is off.
— 4WD Low Indicator Light — If
Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. Low range provides
a greater gear reduction ratio to provide
increased torque at the wheels.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa -
tion on four-wheel drive operation and proper
use.
— Rear Axle Lock Indicator Light
This light indicates when the rear axle lock
has been activated.
— Rear Fog Indicator — If Equipped
This indicator light will illuminate when the
rear fog lights are on.
— Glow Plug Light — If Equipped
This vehicle will inhibit engine cranking
when the ambient temperature is less than
–22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature
sensor reading indicates an engine block
heater has not been used. The Glow Plug
light will flash during in cold weather for up
to ten seconds.
If equipped with a block heater harness the
message “Plug In Engine Heater”, will be
displayed in the instrument cluster when the
ambient temperature is below 5°F (-15° C) at
the time the engine is shut off as a reminder
to avoid possible crank delays at the next
cold start.
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.

Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light
The yellow “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light”
will turn on when the ignition is cycled to the
ON/RUN mode and may stay on for as long
as four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light”
remains on or comes on while driving, it indi-
cates that the anti-lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and that service is
required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if
the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light” is on,
the brake system should be serviced as soon
as possible to restore the benefits of
anti-lock brakes. If the “Anti-Lock Brake
Warning Light” does not come on when the
ignition is cycled to the ON/RUN mode, have
the light repaired as soon as possible.
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) System

Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
Electronic Brake Control (EBC) system. This
system includes Electronic Brake Force Distri -
bution (EBD), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),
Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill Start Assist
(HSA), Traction Control System (TCS), Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC), and Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM). These systems work
together to enhance both vehicle stability and
control in various driving conditions.

Your vehicle may also be equipped with
Trailer Sway Control (TSC), Ready Alert
Braking (RAB), Rain Brake Support (RBS),
Dynamic Steering Torque (DST), Hill
Descent Control (HDC), and Selec-Speed
Control (SSC).
Brake System Warning Light
The red “Brake System Warning Light” will
turn on when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN mode and may stay on for as long
as four seconds.
If the “Brake System Warning Light”
remains on or comes on while driving, it indi
-
cates that the brake system is not func -
tioning properly and that immediate service
is required. If the “Brake System Warning
Light” does not come on when the ignition is
turned to the ON/RUN mode, have the light
repaired as soon as possible.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The Brake Assist System (BAS) is designed
to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability
during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situa
-
tion by sensing the rate and amount of brake
application and then applies optimum pres -
sure to the brakes. This can help reduce
braking distances. The BAS complements
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Applying
the brakes very quickly results in the best
BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of the
system, you must apply continuous braking
pressure during the stopping sequence, (do
not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake
pedal pressure unless braking is no longer
desired. Once the brake pedal is released,
the BAS is deactivated.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. BAS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities
of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner, which could jeopardize the user's
safety or the safety of others.

ESC Operating Modes
NOTE:
Depending upon model and mode of opera-
tion, the ESC system may have multiple
operating modes.
ESC On
This is the normal operating mode for the
ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started, the
ESC system will be in this mode. This mode
should be used for most driving conditions.
Alternate ESC modes should only be used for
specific reasons as noted in the following
paragraphs.
Partial Off
The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times
when a more spirited driving experience is
desired. This mode may modify TCS and ESC
thresholds for activation, which allows for
more wheel spin than normally allowed. This
mode may be useful if the vehicle becomes
stuck.
To enter the “Partial Off” mode, momentarily
push the “ESC OFF” switch and the “ESC
OFF Indicator Light” will illuminate. To turn
the ESC on again, momentarily push the
“ESC OFF” switch and the “ESC OFF Indi -
cator Light” will turn off. NOTE:
For vehicles with multiple partial ESC modes
a momentary button push will toggle the ESC
mode. Multiple momentary button pushed
may be required to return to ESC On.
Full Off — If Equipped
This mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only and should not be used on
any public roadways. In this mode, TCS and
ESC features are turned off. To enter the
“Full Off” mode, push and hold the “ESC
OFF” switch for five seconds while the
vehicle is stopped with the engine running.
After five seconds, a chime will sound, the
“ESC Off Indicator Light” will illuminate,
and the “ESC OFF” message will display in
the instrument cluster. To turn ESC on
again, momentarily push the “ESC OFF”
switch.
NOTE:
System may switch from ESC “Full Off” to
“Partial Off” mode when vehicle exceeds a
predetermined speed. When the vehicle
speed slows below the predetermined speed
the system will return to ESC “Full Off”.
ESC modes may also be affected by drive
modes (if equipped).
WARNING!
When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS
functionality of ESC, (except for the
limited slip feature described in the TCS
section), has been disabled and the
“ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illumi
-
nated. When in “Partial Off” mode, the
engine power reduction feature of TCS is
disabled, and the enhanced vehicle
stability offered by the ESC system is
reduced.
Trailer Sway control (TSC) is disabled
when the ESC system is in the “Partial
Off” mode.
WARNING!

In the ESC “Full Off” mode, the engine
torque reduction and stability features are
disabled. Therefore, enhanced vehicle
stability offered by the ESC system is
unavailable. In an emergency evasive
maneuver, the ESC system will not engage
to assist in maintaining stability. ESC “Full
Off” mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only.

ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
And ESC OFF Indicator Light

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the ignition
is turned to the ON mode. It should
turn off with the engine running. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes
on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected in the ESC
system. If this light remains on after several
ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than
30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as
soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” (located in the instrument cluster)
starts to flash as soon as the tires lose trac
-
tion and the ESC system becomes active.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the
“ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions.
NOTE:
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indi -
cator Light” and the “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time
the ignition is turned ON.
Each time the ignition is turned ON, the
ESC system will be on even if it was turned
off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation. The “ESC OFF Indicator Light”
indicates the customer has elected
to have the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)

The Hill Start Assist (HSA) system is designed
to mitigate roll back from a complete stop while
on an incline. If the driver releases the brake
while stopped on an incline, HSA will continue
to hold the brake pressure for a short period. If
the driver does not apply the throttle before this
time expires, the system will release brake
pressure and the vehicle will roll down the hill
as normal.

The following conditions must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled.
The vehicle must be stopped.
The park brake must be off.
The driver door must be closed.
The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions. ESC cannot
prevent all accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in turns,
driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. ESC also cannot prevent
collisions.
