AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use of
a camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and
automatically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
This function is enabled with the radio system,
and can only be activated with the light switch
turned to (auto).
If the high beam headlights are on, the blue icon/
warning light will illuminate in the instrument
panel. When the speed is higher than 25 mph (40 km/h)
and the function is active, the lights will turn off if
the multifunction lever is pushed again.
When the speed is lower than 15 mph (25 km/h)
and the function is active, the function switches
the high beam headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are operated quickly
again (pushing the multifunction lever towards
the instrument panel), the warning light/icon
will illuminate in the instrument panel, and the
high beam headlights will turn on constantly until
the speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic functioning is
reactivated.
If the multifunction lever is pushed again with the
Automatic High Beam Headlights activated, the
Automatic High Beam Headlights function
deactivates.
To deactivate the automatic headlight function,
rotate the headlight switch to the position.
NOTE:

If the system recognizes heavy traffic areas,
the automatic functions remain disabled
independently of the vehicle’s speed.

(Continued)

If the light remains on when the parking brake has
been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full
mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or
that a problem with the Brake Booster has been
detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) /
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condition
has been corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation
may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking
capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the
hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual
brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning
Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level
in the master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Electronic
Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an
EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on
along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the
ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two seconds.
The light should then turn off unless the parking
brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the
light does not illuminate, have the light inspected
by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake
is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position.

NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Failure
The simultaneous turning on of the
BRAKE (red) and (amber) warning
lights with the engine on indicates either
a failure of the EBD system or that the
system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve when braking abruptly.
Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized
dealer to have the system inspected immediately.
Oil Temperature Warning Light
This telltale indicates engine oil
temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon
as possible. If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
When the ignition is first placed in the
ON/RUN position, if the driver’s seat
belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound
and the light will turn on. When driving,
if the driver or front passenger seat belt remains
unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will flash
or remain on continuously and a chime will sound

Ú
page 151. WARNING!

The fault of the warning light is signaled by the
turning on of the icon on the instrument panel.
In this case, the warning light may not indicate
any faults with the restraint systems. Before
proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to
have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when the
ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on
when driving (together with the message on the
display), there might be a fault in the restraint
systems; in this case, the air bags or preten -
sioners may not deploy in the event of an
accident or, in a lower number of cases, they
could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked immediately.

Fuel Reserve/Limited Range
The indicator light (or the symbol in the
display) illuminates when about 2.4
gallons (9 liters) of fuel is left in the tank.
Rear Fog Lights
The indicator illuminates when the rear
fog light is activated.
Tire Pressure Low Warning Light
The indicator light will illuminate to
indicate that the tire pressure is lower
than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In
these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.
In any situation in which the message on the
display is “See Manual”

Ú
page 149.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Warning Light
The warning light switches on and a
message is displayed to indicate that
the tire pressure is lower than the
recommended value and/or that slow
pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal
tire duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed. Should one or more tires be in the condition
mentioned above, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tire.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi
-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
CAUTION!
If the warning light or the icon on the display
flashes while driving, contact an authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and
steering. If a tire puncture occurs, repair
immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit
and contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
