Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches
approximately 1.3–1.8 gal (5–7 L) this
light
will turn on, and remain on until fuel
is added.
LaneSense Warning Light — If Equipped
The LaneSense system provides the
driver with visual and steering torque
warni n
gs when the vehicle starts to drift
out of its lane unintentionally without the
use of a turn signal Ú page 117.
When the LaneSense system senses a lane drift
situation, the LaneSense indicator changes
from solid green to solid yellow.
When the LaneSense system senses the lane
has been approached and is in a lane departure
situation, the LaneSense indicator changes
from solid white/green to flashing yellow.
Service LaneSense Warning Light —
If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate when the
LaneSense system is not operating and
r e q
ui
r
es service. Please see an
authorized dealer.
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Warning Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard
D ia
gn
os
tic System called OBD II that
monitors engine and automatic
transmission control systems. This warning light
will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON/RUN
position before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the ignition switch from OFF
to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
throug h

several typical driving styles. In most
situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will
not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to
alert
serious conditions that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic
converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced
as soon as possible if this occurs.
Service 4WD Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to signal
a fault with the 4WD system. If the light
stays
on or comes on during driving, it
means that the 4WD system is not
functioning properly and that service is required.
We recommend you drive to the nearest service
center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as
referenced above, can reach higher
temperatures than in normal operating
conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive
slowly or park over flammable substances such
as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could
result in death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the
vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel
economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing,
severe catalytic converter damage and power
loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.

the user will be applied as soon as the
system exits the overheating condition.
YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHTS
4WD Low Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle
is in the 4WD Low mode. The front and
rear d
riveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed. Low range provides a greater gear reduction ratio to provide
increased torque at the wheels
Ú page 90.
4WD Lock Indicator Light
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle
is in the four-wheel drive LOCK mode.
The f r
ont and rear driveshafts are
mechanically locked together, forcing the

Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will indicate when the
ESC system is Active. The ESC Indicator
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.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission damage
or transmission failure.

Light
This indicator light will illuminate when
the cruise control function is ready (but
not se t
), or canceled, by the driver
Ú page 95.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This
system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic transmission
control systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as well
as engine emissions well within current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II
syste m

will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service technician in
making repairs. Although your vehicle will usually
be drivable and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.

90 STARTING AND OPERATING
TRANSMISSION LIMP HOME MODE
Transmission function is electronically monitored
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated. In this
mode, the transmission may operate only in a fixed
gear, or may remain in neutral. The Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be driven to
an authorized dealer for service without damaging
the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the
trans m

ission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. S hif

t the transmission into PARK, if possible. If
n ot
,
s

hift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engin
e turns off.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Res
tart the engine.
6. S hif

t into the desired gear range. If the
p r
ob l
e

m is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recomm e
nd that you visit an authorized dealer at your earliest possible convenience. An authorized
dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if
the problem could recur. If the transmission
cannot be reset, authorized dealer service is
required.
IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK
(K
EYLESS VEHICLE)
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park
Interlock, which requires the transmission to be in
PARK before the ignition can be turned to the OFF
position. Also, the transmission is locked in PARK
whenever the ignition is in the OFF position.
BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT
I
NTERLOCK (BTSI) SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI that holds the
transmission gear selector in PARK unless the
brakes are applied. To shift the transmission out of
PARK, the ignition must be in the RUN position
(engine running or not) and the brake pedal must
be pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed before
pushi n

g the button on the gear selector to shift
from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the
vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Active Drive (4WD) And Active Drive Low (4WD
LOW)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Power
Transf
er Unit (PTU). This system is automatic with
no driver inputs or additional driving skills
required. Under normal driving conditions, the
front wheels provide most of the traction. If the
front wheels begin to lose traction, power is shifted
automatically to the rear wheels. The greater the
front wheel traction loss, the greater the power
transfer to the rear wheels.
Additionally, on dry pavement under heavy throttle
input

(where one may have no wheel spin), torque
will be sent to the rear in a preemptive effort to
improve vehicle launch and performance
characteristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size and type
tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be used.
Unequal tire size may cause failure of the power
transfer unit.
