F94 Fuse 15A Blue Instrument Panel Power Outlet
POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt Power Inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current. The Power
Inverter can power cellular phones, electronics
and other low power devices requiring up to
150 Watts. Certain video game consoles will
excee d
this power limit, as will most power tools.
115 Volt Power Inverter
The Power Inverter will automatically turn on and
off wh e
n a device is plugged in or removed.
In order for the Power Inverter to work, the engine
must b
e running and there must be no faults
detected with the alternator.
The Power Inverter is designed with built-in
overloa d
protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the Power Inverter will
a utomat
ically shut down. Once the electrical
device has been removed from the Power Inverter
it will automatically reset. To avoid overloading the
circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the Power Inverter.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle's battery, even when
not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventu -
ally, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's
batte r
y will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly. Only
use these intermittently and with greater
caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories,
or long periods of the vehicle not being started
(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle
must be driven a sufficient length of time to
allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's
battery.

RED WARNING LIGHTS
Air Bag Warning Light
This light will turn on for four to eight
seconds as a bulb check when the
i
g n
it
i
on is placed in the ON/RUN or MAR/
ON/RUN position. If the light is either not
on during startup, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible. This light
will illuminate with a single chime when a fault with
the Air Bag Warning Light has been detected, it will
stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light comes
on intermittently or remains on while driving, have
an authorized dealer service the vehicle
immediately.
Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake
functions, including brake fluid level and
parki n
g brake application. If the brake
light turns on it may indicate that the
parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level
is low, or that there is a problem with the Anti-Lock
Brake System reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has
been d
isengaged, and the fluid level is at the full
mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or
that a problem with the Brake Booster has been
detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condition has
been corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation
may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking
capac
i
ty in the event of a failure to a portion of the
hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual
brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning
Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level
in the master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
corner i
ng maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necess
ary. Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)
are also equipped with Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD
failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along
with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS
system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
check e
d by turning the ignition switch from the OFF
position to the ON/RUN position. The light should
illuminate for approximately two seconds. The light
should then turn off unless the parking brake is
applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does
not illuminate, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake
is ap p
lied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
appli e
d. It does not show the degree of brake appli -
cation.
Battery Charge Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate when the
battery is not charging properly. If it stays
on wh i
le the engine is running, there may
be a malfunction with the charging system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the
electr
ical system or a related component.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You
could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked
immediately.

Light
in the instrument cluster will come
on when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position, and when ESC is
activated. It should go out with the engine running.
If the ESC Indicator Light comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has been
detected in the ESC system. If this warning light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the
vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers)
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable sys -
tem operation or sensor damage may result
w hen u
sing replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using after -
market tire sealants may cause the Tire Pres -
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to
b ecome
inoperable. After using an aftermarket
tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light is
illuminated you could cause the fluid to boil over,
come in contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
