WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher tempera-
tures 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.

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the
engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.

NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”

come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.

• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON, even if it was

turned off previously.

• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal;

the sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused
the ESC activation.

• To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may

be desirable to switch the ESC system to Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the
ESC Off

switch located below the climate controls, on the switch panel.

- Charging System Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.

We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.

- Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes
when this light turns on.

We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
