The following warning lamps and indicators alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious. Some lamps illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure they work. If any lamps remain on after starting your vehicle, refer to the respective system warning lamp for further information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear in the information display and operate the same as a warning lamp but do not illuminate when you start your vehicle.
Adaptive Cruise Control (If Equipped)
The speed control system indicator light changes color to indicate what mode the system is in. See
Using Adaptive Cruise Control.
On (white light): Illuminates when the adaptive cruise control system is turned on. Turns off when the speed control system is turned off. Engaged (green light): Illuminates when the adaptive cruise control system is engaged. Turns off when the speed control system is disengaged. | |
Adaptive Steering (If Equipped)
The adaptive steering system indicator illuminates if the system detects a fault during the continuous diagnostic checks.
Adaptive Steering Initialization (yellow, flashing): The adaptive steering system has detected a difference between steering wheel angle and the desired road wheel angle. The steering wheel adjusts itself to correct this difference. This adjustment is part of normal system operation.
Adaptive Steering Off (yellow, solid): The adaptive steering system is off. It is possible that the steering wheel may not be straight when your vehicle is driving straight ahead. If this message persists, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Adaptive Steering Loss (red, solid): The adaptive steering system integrity cannot be verified. Do not drive your vehicle and have the system checked immediately. See
Steering.
Anti-Lock Braking System

Brake System Warning Lamp
WARNING:
Driving your vehicle with the warning lamp on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may occur. It may take you longer to stop your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. Driving extended distances with the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and the risk of personal injury. |
This lamp is a dual function lamp and illuminates when:
- You apply the parking brake with the ignition on.
- Your vehicle has a brake fault or low brake fluid level, regardless of parking brake position.
If the lamp illuminates while you are moving, you may have the parking brake applied. Be sure that the parking brake is off. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible if the lamp continues to illuminate.
Note:
Indicators vary depending on region.

However, if after 15 seconds it flashes eight times, this indicates that your vehicle is not ready for Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing. See
Emission Law.
If it illuminates when the engine is running this indicates a malfunction.The On Board Diagnostics system has detected a malfunction of the vehicle emission control system. If it flashes, engine misfire may be occurring.Increased exhaust gas temperatures could damage the catalytic converter or other vehicle components. Drive in a moderate fashion, avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration, and have your vehicle checked immediately. | |

Water In Fuel (If Equipped)
WARNING:
Do not drain the water-in-fuel separator while the engine is running. Failure to follow this warning may result in fire, serious injury, death or property damage. |
During refueling, it is possible for you to pump water-contaminated diesel fuel into your fuel tank. Your vehicle’s fuel system is equipped with a fuel filter and water separator to remove water from the fuel. The water in fuel indicator illuminates when the fuel and water separator has a significant quantity of water in it and requires immediate draining.
If the water in fuel indicator illuminates when the engine is running, stop your vehicle as soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the fuel and water separator. See
Fuel Quality - E85.
Allowing water to stay in the fuel system, after the water in fuel indicator illuminates, could result in extensive damage or failure of the fuel injection system.
Note:
Do not drain the fuel and water separator while the engine is running. Air will enter into the fuel system causing the engine not to operate properly.
