Message Indicator
Message Warning Indicator  The message indicator illuminates to supplement some messages.
The indicator is red or amber depending on the severity of the condition and it remains on until the condition is resolved.
A system-specific symbol with a message indicator may supplement some messages.
All-Wheel Drive

Message   Action and Description  
AWD OFF
Displays when the system has been automatically disabled to protect itself. This is caused by operating the vehicle with a severely mismatched tire installed, if the system is overheating or if there is an issue with another vehicle system preventing AWD operation. Overheating is most likely to occur if the vehicle is operated in severe conditions, for example track use, or if there is excessive wheel slip, for example your vehicle become stuck in mud.  
The system resumes normal function and clears this message after:
  • You switch the ignition off and on and drive a short distance with the correct wheels and tires installed.
  • The system is allowed to cool.
  • Other vehicle system issues are resolved.
AWD Malfunction Service Required
Displays in conjunction with an amber Information icon if the system is not operating correctly and defaults to front-wheel drive only. If the warning remains on or continues appear, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.  
AWD System Oil Change Due
Displays when the rear drive unit lubrication requires changing. This message may appear if the vehicle is used for extended periods of extreme driving, for example track use.*  

*The rear drive unit does not require any normal scheduled maintenance. The system electronically monitors the rear drive unit and notifies you of required service by displaying the message in the information display. The lubricant is more likely to require changing if you use your vehicle for extended periods of extreme driving, for example track use. Do not check or change the lubricant unless the rear drive unit shows signs of leakage or the message displays. If the rear drive unit is submerged in water or to reset the message, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Electronic Stability Control
