84 Instruments and Controls
Here are three things that some owners ask
about. None of these show a problem with
the fuel gauge:
.It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up
than the gauge indicated. For example,
the gauge indicated the tank was half
full, but it actually took a little more or
less than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.The gauge moves a little while turning a
corner, speeding up or braking.
.The gauge takes a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is turned on,
and goes back to empty when the
ignition is turned off.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
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 0245 for
more information.
Transmission Temperature Gauge
This gauge will display when the
transmission is experiencing abnormal
temperatures.
As the transmission begins to overheat, the
gauge fills to the right.
The Transmission Temperature Gauge
monitors all aspects of the transmission.
Elevated transmission temperatures may not
be reflected in the Transmission Fluid
Temperature cluster display gauge. Messages will display to indicate the
severity of the overheating. As the gauge
fills up there will be a reduction in vehicle
performance. Once full, the transmission is
overheated and a message to stop safely
will display. Do not drive the vehicle until
the message clears. See
Dual Clutch
Transmission 0195 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.

108 Lighting
If after signaling a turn or lane change the
arrows flash rapidly or do not come on, a
turn signal indicator light failure may have
occurred.
If a turn signal has failed, the lamp may
need to be replaced. See your dealer.
Turn Signal on Chime
A chime sounds if the turn signal has been
on for more than 1.2 km (0.75 mi) of driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal on for
more than 1.2 km (0.75 mi), turn off the
signal and then turn it back on.
Interior Lighting
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control
This feature adjusts the brightness of all
illuminated controls. The knob for this
feature is on the left side of the instrument
panel.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to brighten or dim the lights.
The knob is functional at night, or when
headlamps or the parking lamps are ON.
Night Mode
At night, when the knob is turned all the
way to the off position, the instrument
cluster will show minimum feature content
(digital speed, gear indication, coolant
temperature, and the fuel gauge) with
muted colors to reduce light emission for
better visibility. The Infotainment System
display and the interior lighting are off.
Courtesy Lamps
The interior lamps will come on when any
door is opened,
Kon the remote key is
pressed, or when the ignition is
switched off.
The hatch/trunk lamps only come on when
the rear compartment is opened.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are in the overhead
console. The lamps go on when any door is
opened,
Kon the remote key is pressed,
or when the vehicle is turned off. When the
doors are closed, press the lamp buttons to
turn on each lamp.
To operate, the vehicle must be on, in
Accessory mode, or using Retained Accessory
Power (RAP).
Engine Compartment Lamp
The engine compartment lamp will come
on when:
.Any door, including the engine
compartment hatch, is opened.
.Kis pressed on the remote key.

178 Driving and Operating
{Warning
Some of the adjustments and procedures
specified in this section may require
specialized skill, training, and equipment.
Failure to perform these procedures
properly could cause malfunction,
potentially resulting in death, personal
injury, or damage to the vehicle or
property. Do not attempt to perform
these adjustments or procedures unless
properly qualified.
Be sure to follow all service procedures
before driving the vehicle at track events or
competitively. See New Vehicle Break-In
0 189.
{Warning
Prior to each track event and again
before returning to public roads, tighten
the wheel nuts with a torque wrench to
the proper torque specification. Wheel
nuts that are improperly or incorrectly
tightened can cause the wheels to
become loose or come off, resulting in a
crash. See Capacities and Specifications
0 304 for wheel nut torque specifications. If equipped, the front license plate bracket
should be removed and replaced with the
aero cover for track use.
Engine Sound Management Setting
Caution
Do not place the vehicle in Engine Sound
Management–Stealth mode. Damage
could result to exhaust valve actuators.
Engine Oil
Caution
If the vehicle is used for track events and
competitive driving, the engine may use
more oil than it would with normal use.
Low oil levels can damage the engine.
Check the oil level often and maintain
the proper level. See Engine Oil0235.
Check the oil level often during track events
and competitive driving. See “Checking the
Engine Oil" in Engine Oil0235.
Engine Cooling
If reduced performance is experienced during
track events or competitive driving, turning
off the A/C will help to improve engine
performance. Maintain a mixture of 40% DEX-COOL
coolant and 60% clean, drinkable water to
optimize engine performance.
Fuel
Unleaded gasoline, rated at 93 octane or
higher, is required.
Caution
Some high octane fuels contain additives
and compounds that may damage the
vehicle and void the vehicle warranty. See
Prohibited Fuels
0224.
Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid
The transmission fluid and external filter
should be changed after every 24 hours of
track usage. If prompted by the transmission
fluid life monitor that remaining fluid life is
low, the fluid and external filter should be
changed as soon as possible.
Add an additional 2 L (2 qt) of DCT
transmission fluid prior to track usage. It is
not required to remove the additional 2 L
(2 qt) of DCT fluid.
Any transmission level set or change should
be performed at your dealer.
