Warning Lights, Gauges,
and Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal
that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and stays on
while driving, or when one of the
gauges shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

Fuel Gauge
Base Level
Uplevel Sport Mode Shown, OtherModes Similar
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates the approximate
amount of fuel left in the tank. There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refueled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
.Take a little more, or less fuel to fill
up than it indicates. For example,
the gauge may have indicated the
tank is half full, but it actually takes
a little more, or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.Move a little while turning a corner,
speeding up, or braking.
.Take a few seconds to stabilize after
the ignition is turned on and goes
back to empty when the ignition is
turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of
which indicate a problem with the fuel
gauge.
Fuel Range
The uplevel instrument cluster has a
estimated fuel range located at the
bottom center of the display. The fuel range is displayed with the
approximate distance the vehicle can
be driven without refueling. The fuel
range estimate is based on an average
of the vehicle’s fuel economy over
recent driving history and the amount
of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
When the estimated fuel range is low,
the range shows LOW and a message
may also display in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).

English
This gauge measures the temperature
of the vehicle's engine.
While driving under normal operating
conditions, if the red LED is
illuminated, the engine is too hot. Pull
off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn
off the engine as soon as possible.
Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
(Uplevel)
Sport Mode Shown, Track Mode Similar
This gauge shows the engine coolant
temperature.
If the gauge pointer moves into the
red zone, the engine is too hot.
This reading indicates the same thing
as the warning light. It means that the
engine coolant has overheated. If the
vehicle has been operating under
normal driving conditions, pull off the
road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the
engine as soon as possible. See Engine
Overheating 0342 for more
information.
Seat Belt Reminders
Driver Seat Belt Reminder Light
There is a driver seat belt reminder
light on the instrument cluster.
When the vehicle is started, this light
flashes and a chime may come on to
remind the driver to fasten their
seat belt.
Then the light stays on solid until the
belt is buckled. This cycle may
continue several times if the driver
remains or becomes unbuckled while
the vehicle is moving.
If the driver seat belt is buckled,
neither the light nor the chime
comes on.

DRIVING AND OPERATING 317
Passing
More passing distance is needed when
towing a trailer. The combination of
the vehicle and trailer will not
accelerate as quickly and is much
longer than the vehicle alone. It is
necessary to go much farther beyond
the passed vehicle before returning to
the lane. Pass on level roadways.
Avoid passing on hills if possible.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. To move the trailer to
the left, move that hand to the left. To
move the trailer to the right, move
that hand to the right. Always back up
slowly and, if possible, have someone
guide you.
Making TurnsCaution
Turn more slowly and make wider
arcs when towing a trailer to
prevent damage to your vehicle.
Making very sharp turns could
cause the trailer to contact the
vehicle. Make wider turns than normal when
towing, so trailer will not go over soft
shoulders, over curbs, or strike road
signs, trees, or other objects. Always
signal turns well in advance. Do not
steer or brake suddenly.
Driving on Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear
before starting down a long or steep
downhill grade. If the transmission is
not shifted down, the brakes may
overheat and result in reduced braking
efficiency.
Vehicles can tow in D (Drive). Shift
the transmission to a lower gear if the
transmission shifts too often under
heavy loads and/or hilly conditions.
When towing at higher altitudes,
engine coolant will boil at a lower
temperature than at lower altitudes.
If the engine is turned off immediately
after towing at high altitude on steep
uphill grades, the vehicle could show
signs similar to engine overheating. To
avoid this, let the engine run,
preferably on level ground, with the
transmission in P (Park) for a few
minutes before turning the engine off.
If the overheat warning comes on, see
Engine Overheating
0342.
Parking on Hills
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or death,
always park your vehicle and trailer
on a level surface when possible.
When parking your vehicle and your
trailer on a hill: 1. Press the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park) yet. Turn the
wheels into the curb if facing
downhill or into traffic if facing
uphill.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place, gradually release the brake
pedal to allow the chocks to absorb
the load of the trailer.
4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking brake and shift
into P (Park).
5. Release the brake pedal.
