WHAT ARE THE INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER WARNING LAMPS
Warning lamps alert you to a vehicle
condition that could become serious.
Some lamps illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
refer to the respective system warning
lamp for further information.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
WARNING LAMPS
Depending on your vehicle options, some
warning lamps can appear different or not
at all.
Adaptive Steering
It illuminates when the adaptive
steering system detects a
concern. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.
Anti-Lock Brake System If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Battery It illuminates when you switch
the ignition on.
If it illuminates when the engine
is running, this indicates your vehicle
requires service. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. Brake System It illuminates when you apply the
parking brake and the ignition is
on. If it illuminates when your
vehicle is moving, make sure the
parking brake is released. If the
parking brake is released, this
indicates low brake fluid level or the brake
system requires service. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
Note: Indicators may vary depending on
region.
Check Fuel Cap It illuminates when the fuel cap
is not properly installed.
Continued driving with this light
on may cause the malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Illuminates when the diesel
exhaust fluid is low,
contaminated or the system
requires service. See Selective Catalytic
Reduction System (page 217).
Door Ajar It illuminates when you switch
the ignition on and remains on if
any door is open.
Electric Parking Brake It illuminates or flashes when the
electric parking brake requires
service.

•
Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid on
painted surfaces, carpeting or plastic
components. Immediately wipe away
any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled
with a damp cloth and water. If it has
already crystallized, use warm water
and a sponge.
• Do not store the diesel exhaust fluid
bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks it could
cause damage to interior components
or release an ammonia odor inside your
vehicle.
• Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluid
container once it is emptied.
• Store diesel exhaust fluid out of direct
sunlight and in temperatures between
23–68°F (-5– 20°C).
• The system has a diesel exhaust fluid
quality sensor. Dilution of diesel
exhaust fluid or use of any other liquid
in the selective catalytic reduction
system leads to a diesel exhaust fluid
system fault, eventually leading to the
vehicle only operating in idle-only
mode.
• Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid with
water or any other liquid. FILLING THE SELECTIVE

TANK IN COLD WEATHER
Diesel exhaust fluid may freeze if the
ambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C).
Your vehicle has a preheating system
which allows diesel exhaust fluid to
operate below
12°F (-11°C). If you do not
use your vehicle for an extended period
when the ambient temperature is below
12°F (-11°C)
, the fluid in the tank may
freeze. If the tank is overfilled and the fluid
freezes it may cause damage that your
Warranty will not cover.
FILLING THE SELECTIVE
CATALYTIC REDUCTION SYSTEM
TANK USING A FUEL STATION
PUMP
Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using
a fuel station pump is similar to refueling
your vehicle.
1. Fully open the fuel filler door. 2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank
filler cap.
