Instrumentation

Safety belt

Momentarily illuminates

when the ignition is

turned to the ON

position to remind you

to fasten your safety belts. For more information,

refer to the Seating and safety restraints chapter.

Door ajar

Illuminates when the

ignition is in the ON or

START position and

any door is open.

Service engine soon

Your vehicle is

equipped with a

computer that monitors

the engine’s emission

control system. This

system is commonly known as the On Board

Diagnostics System (OBD II). The OBD II system

protects the environment by ensuring that your

vehicle continues to meet government emission

standards. The OBD II system also assists the

service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The Service Engine Soon indicator light illuminates

when the ignition is first turned to the ON position

to check the bulb. 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.

What you should do if the Service Engine Soon

light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

This means that the OBD II system has detected a

malfunction.

SERVICE

ENGINE

SOON

Instrumentation

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service

Engine Soon light to illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may

misfire or run poorly.)

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 good quality fuel and/or

properly installing and securely tightening the gas

cap. After three driving cycles without these or any

other temporary malfunctions present, the Service

Engine Soon 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.

If the Service Engine Soon light remains on, have

your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

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.

Low fuel

Illuminates as an early

reminder of a low fuel

condition indicated on

the fuel gauge. The

light comes on when there is approximately 1/16th

Instrumentation

of a tank indicated on the fuel gauge (refer to Fuel

gauge in this chapter for more information). The

ignition must be in the ON position for this lamp to

illuminate. The lamp will also illuminate for several

seconds after the ignition is turned to the ON

position regardless of the fuel level.

Low coolant (if equipped)

This lamp will

illuminate when the

engine coolant inside

the reservoir is low.

This lamp will come on

when the ignition is first turned on, but then should

turn off. If the lamp stays on, you should check the

coolant level inside the reservoir. For instructions on

adding coolant, see Engine coolant in the

Maintenance and care chapter.

Anti-theft system (if equipped)

Refer to Perimeter

alarm system (if

equipped) and

SecuriLockypassive

anti-theft system in the Controls and features

chapter.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS) (If equipped)

Momentarily illuminates

when the ignition is

turned on and the

engine is off. If the

light does not illuminate momentarily at start up,

remains on or continues to flash, the ABS needs to

be serviced. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock

brake system is disabled and normal braking is still

effective unless the brake warning light also remains

illuminated with parking brake released.

ABS

Instrumentation

Speed control (if equipped)

This light comes on

when either the SET/

ACCEL or RESUME

controls are pressed. It

turns off when the

speed control OFF control is pressed, the brake is

applied or the ignition is turned to the OFF position.

Brake system warning

Momentarily illuminates

when the ignition is

turned to the ON

position, the engine is

off and the parking brake is engaged. If the brake

warning lamp does not illuminate at this time, seek

service immediately. Illumination after releasing the

parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the

brake system should be inspected immediately.

Engine oil pressure

Momentarily illuminates

when the ignition is

turned to the ON

position and the engine

is off. Illuminates when the oil pressure falls below

the normal range. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely

possible and switch off the engine immediately.

Check the oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to

Engine oil in the Maintenance and Care chapter.

Charging system

Illuminates when the

ignition is turned to

the ON position and

the engine is off. The

light also illuminates when the battery is not

charging properly, requiring electrical system

service.
