WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate
in the instrument panel together with a dedi -
cated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative
and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read care
-
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa -
tion in this chapter in the event of a failure
indication. All active telltales will display
first if applicable. The system check menu
may appear different based upon equipment
options and current vehicle status. Some
telltales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault with the air bag, and
will turn on for four to eight seconds
as a bulb check when the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This light will illuminate with a single chime
when a fault with the air bag has been
detected, it will stay on until the fault is
cleared. If the light is either not on during
startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various
brake functions, including brake
fluid level and parking brake appli
-
cation. If the brake light turns on it may indi -
cate that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a
problem with the anti-lock brake system.
Engine Will Not Start Service
AdBlue® System See Dealer
NOTE:
The display may take up to five seconds to update after adding 2 gallons (7.5 Liters) or more of
AdBlue® (UREA) to the AdBlue® (UREA) tank. If you have a fault related to the AdBlue® (UREA)
system, the display may not update to the new level. See an authorized dealer for service.
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower than 12°F (-11°C). If the car stands for a long time at this
temperature, refilling could be difficult. For this reason, it is advised to park the vehicle in a garage

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.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Cleaning In
Progress Indicator Light — Diesel Versions
With DPF Only (If Equipped)
This indicator light will illuminate,
or a message will appear, to indicate
that the DPF system needs to elimi-
nate the trapped pollutants (particulate)
through the regeneration process. The light/
message does not switch on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified.
To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in
motion until the regeneration process is over.
On average, the process lasts 15 minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the
process are achieved by traveling at 37 mph
(60 km/h) with engine speed above 2000
rpm.
When this light/message switches on, it does
not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it
should not be taken to a workshop. NOTE:
On some versions, together with the symbol
switching on, the display shows a dedicated
message.
Forward Collision Indicator Light — If
Equipped
This telltale will turn on to warn you
of a possible collision with the
vehicle in front of you.
Forward Collision Warning Off Indicator Light
— If Equipped
This indicator light illuminates to
indicate that Forward Collision
Warning is off.
Immobilizer Fail / VPS Electrical Alarm
Indicator Light
This telltale will illuminate when the
vehicle security alarm system has
detected an attempt to break into
the vehicle.
NOTE:
After cycling the ignition to the ON/RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Warning Light
could illuminate if a problem with the system
is detected. This condition will result in the
engine being shut off after two seconds.
Low Diesel Emissions Additive AdBlue®
(UREA) Indicator Light — If Equipped
The Low Diesel Exhaust Emissions
Additive AdBlue® (UREA) indicator
light illuminates when the AdBlue®
(UREA) level is low.
Fill the AdBlue® (UREA) tank as soon as
possible with at least 1.3 gallons (5 liters) of
AdBlue® (UREA).
CAUTION!
Vehicle travel speed should always be
adapted to the traffic and weather
conditions, and must always comply with
traffic regulations.
The engine can be turned off if the DPF
warning light is on; however, repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process
could cause premature deterioration of the
engine oil. For this reason, it is important
to wait for the symbol to turn off before
turning off the engine. Do not complete
the DPF regeneration process when the
vehicle is stopped.

NOTE:
The BSM system does NOT alert the driver
about rapidly approaching vehicles that
are outside the detection zones.
The BSM system detection zone DOES
NOT change if your vehicle is towing a
trailer. Therefore, visually verify the adja-
cent lane is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane change. If the
trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
equipment) extends beyond the side of
your vehicle, this may result in the BSM
warning light remaining illuminated the
entire time the vehicle is in a forward gear.
It may be necessary to deactivate the BSM
system manually to avoid miss-detection.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
may experience drop outs (blinking on and
off) of the side mirror Warning Indicator
lamps when a motorcycle or any small
object remains at the side of the vehicle
for extended periods of time (more than a
couple of seconds).
The area on the rear fascia where the radar
sensors are located must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so that the BSM system can function properly.
Do not block the area of the rear fascia where
the radar sensors are located with foreign
objects (bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.)
Radar Sensor Location (Passenger Side Shown)
The BSM system will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. If the turn signal is then
activated, and it corresponds to an alert
present on that side of the vehicle, an
audible chime will also be sounded. When -
ever a turn signal and detected object are
present on the same side at the same time,
both the visual and audio alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted. Warning Light Location
The BSM system monitors the detection
zone from three different entry points (side,
rear, front) while driving to see if an alert is
necessary. The BSM system will issue an
alert during these types of zone entries.

Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the driver when backing out
of parking spaces where their vision of
oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking
space until the rear end of the vehicle is
exposed. The RCP system will then have a
clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on
both sides of the vehicle, for objects that are
moving toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 3 mph(5 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of
approximately 20 mph (32 km/h), such as in
parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles
can be obscured by vehicles parked on either
side. If the sensors are blocked by other
structures or vehicles, the system will not be
able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE, the driver is alerted using both
the visual and audible alarms, including
reducing the radio volume.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only (Default Setting)
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode,
the BSM system will provide a visual alert in
the appropriate side view mirror based on a
detected object. However, when the system
is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode,
the system will respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is
present. Whenever an audible alert is
requested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side view
mirror based on a detected object. If the turn
signal is then activated, and it corresponds
to an alert present on that side of the vehicle,
an audible chime will also be sounded.
Whenever a turn signal and detected object
are present on the same side at the same
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only
an aid to help detect objects in the blind
spot zones. The BSM system is not
designed to detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. Even if your vehicle is
equipped with the BSM system, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn signal
before changing lanes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

time, both the visual and audible alerts will
be issued. In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by
the BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the radio
volume is reduced. Turn/hazard signal status
is ignored; the RCP state always requests the
chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off.
Each time the vehicle is started the previ -
ously stored mode will be recalled and used.
Blocked Sensor
If the system detects degraded performance
due to contamination or foreign objects, a
message will warn you of a blocked sensor and the warning indicators in side view
mirrors will be illuminated. The warning indi
-
cators will remain illuminated until blockage
clearing conditions are met. First clear the
fascia area around the sensors of the
blockage. After removing the blockage, reset
the system by placing the ignition from ON to
OFF and then back ON.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation — If Equipped
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With
Mitigation Operation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
with mitigation provides the driver with
audible warnings, visual warnings (within the
instrument cluster display), and may apply a
brake jerk to warn the driver when it detects
a potential frontal collision. The warnings
and limited braking are intended to provide
the driver with enough time to react, avoid or
mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the
forward looking sensors as well as the Elec -
tronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate
the probability of a forward collision. When
the system determines that a forward colli -sion is probable, the driver will be provided
with audible and visual warnings and may
provide a brake jerk warning.
If the driver does not take action based upon
these progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active braking
to help slow the vehicle and mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the driver
reacts to the warnings by braking and the
system determines that the driver intends to
avoid the collision by braking but has not
applied sufficient brake force, the system
will compensate and provide additional
brake force as required.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitiga
-
tion event begins at a speed below 26 mph
(42 km/h), the system may provide the
maximum braking possible to mitigate the
potential forward collision. If the Forward
Collision Warning with Mitigation event stops
the vehicle completely, the system will hold
the vehicle at standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes.

exists. If the system fault no longer exists,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will no longer flash, and the “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message will no longer
display, and a pressure value will display in
place of the dashes. A system fault can occur
due to any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or
driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors.
Vehicles With Compact Spare or Non-Matching
Full Size Spare
1. The compact spare tire or non-matching full size does not have a Tire Pressure
Monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure in the
compact or non-matching full size spare
tire. 2. If you install the compact or
non-matching full size spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below
the low-pressure warning limit, upon the
next ignition key cycle, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will
remain on and a chime will sound. In
addition, the graphic in the instrument
cluster will still display a different color
or highlighted pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h),
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. In
addition, the instrument cluster will
display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message for five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pres -
sure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will sound, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid, and the instrument
cluster will display a “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message for five seconds and
then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value. 5. Once you repair or replace the original
road tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the compact spare, the TPMS
will update automatically. In addition,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will turn off and the
graphic in the instrument cluster will
display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this infor -
mation.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with wheel and tire assemblies that do not
have TPMS Sensors, such as when installing
winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires not equipped with Tire Pressure Moni -
toring (TPM) sensors. Then, drive the vehicle
for 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the Tire Pressure
