INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- 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 continuously 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), we recommend you drive to the nearest

service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to

the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation

pressure for those tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring

system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you

should stop and check your tires as soon as possible and inflate them to the proper pressure.

Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life and may affect the vehicle’s

handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST

THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE

VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE

DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:

AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES

BEFORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
