System warnings

System warnings and important information about vehicle status will be
displayed at the left side of your vehicle’s instrument cluster. System
warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your vehicle’s
operating systems. Warnings will be displayed in large format on the left
side of the instrument cluster and then will shrink to a small format if
cleared by pressing the RESET button. The warning will remain on the
far left until the condition causing the warning is corrected.

The message center will display the temperature gauge and PRNDL
indicator if there are no more warning messages. This allows you to use
the full functionality of the message center after you acknowledge the
warning by pressing RESET and clearing the warning message.

Warning messages that have been reset are divided into two categories:
• They will reappear on the display ten minutes from the reset.
• They will not reappear until an ignition on/off cycle has been

completed if the fault condition still exists. This acts as a reminder
that these warning conditions still exist within the vehicle.

Warnings that return after 10 minutes:

PARK BRAKE ENGAGED — Displayed when the park brake is
engaged. If the warning stays on after the park brake is off, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM — Displayed when the brake system needs
servicing. If the warning stays on or continues to come on, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Warnings that return after the ignition key is turned from off to
on:

STOP SAFELY NOW — Displayed when the stop safety hazard warning
lamp is illuminated. This indicates a hybrid component fault/failure that
will cause the vehicle to shut down, fail to start or enter into limited
operating mode.

Note: If the vehicle is still running, it may soon shut down without
further warning and should be stopped safely. Contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
