Engine Oil Pressure Light
Caution
Driving the vehicle with low engine oil
pressure can damage the engine and the
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
If the engine oil pressure light comes on
while driving:
1. Stop in a safe location and turn off the engine.
2. Check the oil level. See Engine Oil
0 342.
3. Add oil if the oil level is below the normal operating range.
4. Restart the vehicle. If the engine oil pressure light stays on for more
than 10 seconds, turn the vehicle
back off. Do not restart the vehicle.
See your dealer for service.This light should come on briefly when the
engine starts. When the engine is off and
the vehicle is on, the light should remain
illuminated. If it does not come on under
either condition, contact your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on when the
engine is running, it may not have adequate
oil pressure. The oil level may be low or
there may be some other oil system
problem. Turn the engine off when it is safe
to do so and contact your dealer.
Low Fuel Warning Light
A Low Fuel Warning Light near the fuel
gauge comes on briefly when the ignition is
turned on as a check to show it is working. It also comes on when the fuel gauge
indicator nears empty. The light turns off
when fuel is added. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced.
Security Light
The security light should come on briefly as
the engine is started. If it does not come on,
have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the system is working normally, the
indicator light turns off.
If the light stays on and the engine does
not start, there could be a problem with the
theft-deterrent system. See

To enable the IntelliBeam system, press
bon the turn signal lever when it is
dark outside and the exterior lamp control is
in AUTO or
2.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high beams
when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears on the
instrument cluster when the high beams
are on.
There is a sensor near the top center of the
windshield that automatically controls the
system. Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best system
performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:
.The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
.The system detects a preceding vehicle's
taillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system is disabled by the
button on the turn signal lever. If this
happens, press
bon the turn signal
lever when the exterior lamp control is in
the AUTO or
2position to reactivate the
IntelliBeam system. The instrument
cluster light will come on to indicate the
IntelliBeam system is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle's lamps because of any of
the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust, smoke,
fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other
airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty, cracked,
or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on winding or
hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps may
need to be disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.
Adaptive Headlight System
If equipped, the Adaptive Headlight system
allows the high beam to function as the
main driving light at night. There is a sensor
near the top center of the windshield that
automatically detects the lights of oncoming
and preceding vehicles. Keep this area of the
windshield clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
The system turns on all the high-beam
headlamp LED segments when it is dark
enough and there is no other traffic present.
This light
bdisplays on the instrument
cluster when the Adaptive Headlight system
is enabled.

Turning On and Enabling Adaptive Headlight
System
To enable the Adaptive Headlight system,
press
bon the turn signal lever when it
is dark outside and the exterior lamp control
is in AUTO or
2.
Driving with Adaptive Headlight System
The system only activates the high beams
when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph).
Individual segments of the headlamp high
beam are faded out according to the traffic
situation, preventing high beam light from
glaring oncoming or preceding traffic. This
gives the best light distribution without
glaring other road users.
The Adaptive Headlight System remains on
until one of the following situations occurs:
.The fog lamps are turned on.
.The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle speed drops below
approximately 20 km/h (12 mph).
.The Adaptive Headlight system is disabled
by the button on the turn signal lever. To
reactivate the system, press
bon the
turn signal lever when the exterior lamp
control is in the AUTO or
2position.
The instrument cluster light will appear to
indicate the Adaptive Headlight system is
reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle lamps because of any of the
following:
.The other vehicle lamps are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle lamps are covered with
dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust, smoke,
fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other
airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle windshield is dirty, cracked,
or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded in a way that the
front end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on winding or
hilly roads.
The Adaptive Headlight system may need to
be disabled if any of the above conditions
exist.
Exterior Lamps Off Reminder
If a door is open, a reminder chime sounds
when the headlamps or parking lamps are
manually turned on and the vehicle is off.
To turn off the chime, turn the exterior
lamp control to off or AUTO and then back
on, or close and re-open the door. In the
AUTO mode, the headlamps turn off once
the vehicle is off or remain on until the
headlamp delay ends (if enabled in the DIC).
Touch the Settings icon on the infotainment
home page. Select Vehicle>Lighting to
