The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
illuminate when you start your vehicle to
make sure they work. If any lamps remain
on after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and function the
same as a warning lamp but do not display
when you start your vehicle.
Anti-Lock Braking System If it illuminates when you are

ABS) unless the brake system warning
lamp is also illuminated. Have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Automatic Regeneration Control Illuminates when you switch it
off.
Battery If it illuminates while driving, it
indicates a malfunction. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical
equipment and have the system checked
by an authorized dealer immediately. Brake System Indicates low brake fluid level or
a brake system malfunction.
Have the system checked
immediately by an authorized dealer. WARNING
Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance
may occur. It will take you longer to stop
your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked by
your authorized dealer immediately. Check Fuel Cap

have properly installed the fuel
cap. Continued driving with this
light on may cause the Service engine soon
warning indicator to come on.

system activation when the
engine is off and the service brake pedal is
applied. This light may also illuminate
momentarily if the engine is running and
the driver turns the steering wheel fully in
one direction while braking. If the light
remains on while the engine is running, this
indicates inadequate hydraulic booster
pressure or reserve pump system failure.

fuel economy display. The running average
fuel economy resets to a factory default
value if the battery is disconnected.

Average fuel economy displays your
average fuel economy in miles per gallon
or liters/100 km.
