A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle's functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately. Service engine soon light illuminates briefly to The ensure the system is functional. If it comes on after the engine is started, one of the engine's emission control systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require towing. Light remains on: Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate. Examples are: 1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. 2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel. 3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely tightened. These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required. 10 Instrument Cluster If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity. Note: The light will illuminate if vehicle refueling is conducted with the engine running. Never refuel vehicle with the engine running. Light is blinking: Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter. You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity. Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire. Brake system warning To confirm the brake system BRAKE warning light is functional, it will momentarily illuminate when the ! P ignition is turned to the ON position (alternatively for some vehicles when the ignition is moved from the ON position to START position, the light will momentarily illuminate prior to reaching the START position). It also illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate as described, seek service immediately. Illumination after the parking brake is released indicates low brake fluid level or a brake system malfunction and the brake system should be serviced immediately by a qualified technician. Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information. Anti-lock brake system (ABS) To confirm the anti-lock brake system (ABS) warning light is ABS functional it will momentarily illuminate when the ignition is turned to the ON position (alternatively for some vehicles when the ignition is moved from the ON 11 Instrument Cluster position to the START position, the light will momentarily illuminate just prior to reaching the START position). If the light remains on, continues to flash or fails to illuminate, have the ABS serviced immediately. If the ABS light remains on, it means the anti-lock brake system has malfunctioned and is disabled, however, the normal brake system will still function unless the brake warning light also remains illuminated and parking brake is off. Refer to Brakes in the Driving chapter for more information. Safety belt Illuminates to remind you to fasten your safety belts. For more information, refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter. Air bag readiness Illuminates to confirm that the air bags (front or side) are operational. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately. Charging system Illuminates when the battery is not charging properly. AdvanceTrac (if equipped) Flashes when the AdvanceTrac system is active. If the light remains on, have the system serviced immediately. For more information, refer to the Driving chapter. Engine oil pressure Illuminates when the oil pressure falls below the normal range. Check the oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to Engine oil in the Maintenance and specifications chapter. 12 Instrument Cluster Speed control Illuminates when the speed control is activated. Engine coolant temperature Illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is high. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let it cool. Never remove the coolant recovery cap while the engine is running or hot. Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and specifications chapter. If light stays on or continues to turn on after the vehicle warms up, have your vehicle serviced. Turn signals Illuminates when the turn signals or the hazard lights are turned on. If the lights stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out bulb. High beams Illuminates when the high beam headlamps are turned on. O/D off Illuminates when the overdrive function has been turned OFF using the Transmission Control Switch (TCS) on the gearshift. If the light does not come on or the light flashes steadily, have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, otherwise damage to the transmission could occur. 13 Instrument Cluster Four wheel drive low (if equipped) Illuminates when four-wheel drive low is engaged. If the light continues to flash have the system serviced. Four wheel drive high (if equipped) Illuminates when four-wheel drive is put in high range. If the light continues to flash have the system serviced. Safety belt warning chime Sounds to remind you to fasten your safety belts. BeltMinder chime 4x4 LOW 4x4 HIGH Sounds intermittently to remind you to fasten your safety belts. Supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning chime Sounds when a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system (front or side airbags) has been detected.

At normal operating temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area between the "H" and "C"). If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to Engine coolant in the Maintenance and specifications chapter. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling system can burn you badly. This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level the gauge indication will not be accurate. If the gauge enters the red section, the oil pressure/engine coolant and Check Engine/Service Engine Soon indicators illuminate, refer to What you should know about fail-safe cooling in the Maintenance and specifications chapter. 15 Instrument Cluster Fuel gauge Displays approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in motion or on a grade. When refueling the vehicle from empty indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will be less than the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel. If the key is left in the ON position during fueling, a minimum of 22.2 L (six gallons) must be added to the fuel tank in order for the gauge to instantaneously update. If less than six gallons is added, the gauge will take between five to twenty minutes to update. Speedometer Indicates the current vehicle speed. Odometer Registers the total kilometers (miles) of the vehicle. 16 Instrument Cluster Trip odometer Registers the kilometers (miles) of individual journeys. Press and release the message center INFO button until TRIP mode appears in the display. Press the message center RESET button to reset.
