- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may

illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays
on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and not require towing.

• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could

lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Electronic Stability Control OFF Warning Light

• If the ESC OFF warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a

malfunction has been detected.

• 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), we recommend
you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- 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.

- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we

recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the

ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
