- 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

If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible.
While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep
snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system off.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATOR LIGHTS

- Turn Signal Indicator

The arrows will flash with the exterior turn signals when the turn signal lever is
operated. A tone will chime, and a EVIC message will appear if either turn signal is
left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).

NOTE:
If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb.

- High Beam Indicator

Indicates that headlights are on high beam.

- Front Fog Light Indicator

This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.

- Vehicle Security Light

This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle security
alarm is arming. The light will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm is
set. The security light will also come on for about three seconds when the ignition is
first turned on.

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light

This light indicates the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is off.

- Electronic Speed Control ON Indicator

This indicator will illuminate when the electronic speed control has been activated to
the “ON” position.
