CHECK OIL LEVEL - 5: If you ever see the
CHECK OIL LEVEL message, it indicates that the
engine oil level is 1 to 1 1/2 quarts (0.9 L to 1.4 L) low.
The message will appear only if the engine is running
and it has been at least eight minutes since the engine
was last running. If the message appears, check the oil
dipstick level. If it reads low, your oil level should be
brought up to the proper level (see “Engine Oil” in
the Index). After bringing the oil to the proper level,
the ignition must be off for eight minutes to allow the
majority of oil to drain into the oil pan.
SERV STABILITY SYS - 26 : If you ever see the
SERV STABILITY SYS message, it means there
may be a problem with your stability enhancement
system. If you see this message, try to reset the system
(stop; turn off the engine; then start the engine again).
If the SERV STABILITY SYS message still comes on,
it means there is a problem. You should see your dealer
for service. Reduce your speed and drive accordingly.
STABILITY ACTIVE - 42 : You may see the
STABILITY ACTIVE message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer
- controlled system has come on to help
your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which
you’re steering. This stability enhancement system
activates when the computer senses that your vehicle is
just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice
or other slippery spot on the road. When the system is
on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal.
When the STABILITY ACTIVE message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want
to go. The system is designed to help you in bad
weather or other difficult driving situations by making
the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the
STABILITY ACTIVE message comes on, you’ll know
that something has caused your vehicle to start to spin,
so you should consider slowing down.
