This message displays when
the vehicle's propulsion power
is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect
the vehicle's ability to
accelerate. If this message is
on, but there is no observed
reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions theperformance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be
driven while this message is
on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime this message stays
on, or displays repeatedly, the
vehicle should be taken to
your dealer for service as
soon as possible.
Under certain operating
conditions, propulsion will be
disabled. Try restarting after
the ignition has been off for
two minutes.

366 Driving and Operating
Trailer Brakes
Loaded trailers over 450 kg
(1,000 lb) must be equipped
with brake systems and with
brakes for each axle. Trailer
braking equipment conforming
to Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) requirement
CAN3-D313, or its equivalent,
is recommended.
State or local regulations may
require trailers to have their
own braking system if the
loaded weight of the trailer
exceeds certain minimums
that can vary from state to
state. Read and follow the
instructions for the trailer
brakes so they are installed,
adjusted, and maintained
properly. Never attempt to tap
into your vehicle's hydraulic
brake system. If you do, both
the vehicle anti-lock brakes
and the trailer brakes may not
function, which could result in
a crash.
Trailer Lamps
Always check all trailer lamps
are working at the beginning
of each trip, and periodically
on longer trips.
Turn Signals When
Towing a Trailer
When properly connected, the
trailer turn signals will
illuminate to indicate the
vehicle is turning, changing
lanes, or stopping. When
towing a trailer, the arrows on
the instrument cluster will
illuminate even if the trailer is
not properly connected or the
bulbs are burned out.
Conversions and
Add-Ons
Add-On Electrical
Equipment
{Warning
The Data Link Connector
(DLC) is used for vehicle
service and Emission
Inspection/Maintenance
testing. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (Check
Engine Light)0118. A device
connected to the DLC —
such as an aftermarket fleet
or driver-behavior tracking
device —may interfere with
vehicle systems. This could
affect vehicle operation and
cause a crash. Such devices
may also access information
stored in the vehicle’s
systems.

Headlamp Aiming
Front Headlamp
Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset
and should need no further
adjustment.
If the vehicle is damaged in a
crash, the headlamp aim may
be affected. If adjustment to
the headlamps is necessary,
see your dealer.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of
replacement bulbs, or any bulb
changing procedure not listed
in this section, contact your
dealer.
Caution
Do not replace incandescent
bulbs with aftermarket LED
replacement bulbs. This can
cause damage to the vehicle
electrical system.
Halogen Bulbs
{Warning
Halogen bulbs have
pressurized gas inside and
can burst if you drop or
scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be
sure to read and follow the
instructions on the bulb
package.
High Intensity
Discharge (HID)
Lighting
{Warning
The High Intensity Discharge
(HID) lighting system
operates at a very high
voltage. If you try to service
any of the system
components, you could be
seriously injured. Have your
dealer or a qualified
technician service them.
After an HID headlamp bulb
has been replaced, the beam
might be a slightly different
shade than it was originally.
This is normal.
LED Lighting
This vehicle has several LED
lamps. For replacement of any
LED lighting assembly, contact
your dealer.

Front Turn Signal
Lamps
Uplevel
See your dealer for turn signal
replacement.
Base level
To replace one of these lamps:1. Open the hood.
2. If your vehicle is equipped with a beauty cover,
remove the beauty cover
to get access to the bulb.
3. Turn the bulb socketcounterclockwise to
remove it from the
headlamp assembly.
4. Unplug the electrical connector from the bulb by
releasing the clip on the
connector.
5. Replace the bulb and reverse Steps 1–4 to
reinstall.
Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and
circuit breakers to protect
against an electrical system
overload.
When the current electrical
load is too heavy, the circuit
breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the
current load returns to normal
or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of
circuit overload and fire
caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers
protect power devices in the
vehicle.
If there is a problem on the
road and a fuse needs to be
replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose
some feature of the vehicle
that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
To check a fuse, look at the
band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to
replace a bad fuse with a fuse
of the identical size and rating.
