- 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 (ESC) Indicator Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning

Light

• If the ESC/BAS 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.

• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see

an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing when the engine is running,
immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an
elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
