Do not ignore warning lamps or indicators. Take appropriate action as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury, or serious damage to the vehicle.
Red warning lamps are for primary warnings. A primary warning must be investigated immediately by the driver or qualified assistance, before continuing.
Amber and yellow warning lamps are for secondary warnings. Some indicate that a vehicle system is active, and others indicate that the driver must take action and seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.
Green and blue lamps within the instrument panel indicate a system’s status.
A bulb check is initiated for some warning lamps when the ignition is switched on. The check lasts for 3 seconds, except for the air bag warning lamp, which remains on for 6 seconds. If any warning lamp remains on after this period, investigate the cause before driving.
Some warning lamps have associated messages displayed in the instrument panel.
Not all warning lamps are included in the check, e.g., high beam headlights and turn signals.
The 12V battery charge warning lamp illuminates, as a bulb check, when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on.
The lamp extinguishes when the engine is started.
If the lamp remains on or illuminates while driving, there is a fault with the battery charging system. The instrument panel displays a warning message. Seek qualified assistance urgently.
Do not drive if the message LOW BRAKE FLUID is displayed. Check the brake fluid level and top up, as necessary. If necessary, seek qualified assistance before continuing. Driving with low brake fluid can cause increased braking distance or brake failure, and can result in a collision.

Canada.
The brake warning lamp illuminates briefly, as a bulb check, when the ignition is switched on. If the lamp illuminates while driving, suspect low brake fluid level, overheated brakes, or a fault with the Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) system.
Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits. Check and top up the brake fluid, or allow the brakes to cool, if necessary. If the lamp remains illuminated, seek qualified assistance before continuing.
See BRAKE SYSTEMS SAFETY.
The critical warning message lamp illuminates when a relevant message displays in the instrument panel.
Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits, and investigate the cause of the warning.
USA.
Canada.
The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) warning lamp illuminates if the EPB is correctly applied.
If the lamp flashes, a fault has been detected. Seek qualified assistance urgently.
The engine temperature warning lamp illuminates when the engine’s temperature is too high.
The instrument panel also displays a warning message.
Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits. Seek qualified assistance before continuing.
The red lane departure warning lamp illuminates if the vehicle crosses a lane marking without the appropriate turn signal being operated.
Illumination of the lamp is accompanied by a vibration, felt through the steering wheel.
The left or right lane illuminates, depending on which lane boundary is being crossed.
If the low oil pressure warning lamp flashes or illuminates while driving, stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits. Switch off the engine immediately.
Check and top up the oil level, if necessary. Start the engine. If the lamp remains illuminated, switch the engine off immediately. Seek qualified assistance before continuing.
Objects on the front passenger seat may activate the seat belt reminder feature. It is recommended that any objects placed on the front passenger seat are secured using the seat belt. See SEAT BELT OPERATION.
When the vehicle is in motion and seats are occupied, the warning lamp illuminates, accompanied by a chime if the seat belt is unbuckled.
The lamp extinguishes when the relevant seat belt is buckled.
The adaptive speed limiter lamp illuminates when the adaptive speed limiter feature is switched on.
The air bag warning lamp illuminates, as a bulb check, when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on. The lamp extinguishes after 6 seconds.
If the lamp illuminates again, after the bulb check or while driving, there is a fault with the air bag system. Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.
If the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and brake warning lamps illuminate at the same time, do not drive the vehicle until the fault is rectified. The braking system may not be functioning correctly, which may, in turn, lead to a loss of control, potentially causing an accident. Seek qualified assistance immediately.
The ABS warning lamp illuminates briefly, as a bulb check, when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on.
If the lamp remains on, or illuminates while driving, there is a fault with the ABS system. Drive with care, avoiding heavy brake pedal application. Seek qualified assistance urgently.

The brake warning lamp illuminates briefly, as a bulb check, when the ignition is switched on.
If the lamp illuminates after starting the engine or while driving, suspect worn brake pads or a fault with the braking system. The vehicle can still be driven with care. Seek qualified assistance urgently.
The check engine warning lamp illuminates when the vehicle’s ignition is switched on.
The lamp remains illuminated until the engine starts. If the lamp illuminates when the engine is running, an emissions-related fault has been detected. The vehicle remains safe to drive with the lamp illuminated, although qualified assistance should be sought as soon as possible.
With the lamp illuminated, the vehicle may enter limp-home mode. Limp-home mode reduces vehicle performance to safeguard against any further damage to the vehicle. See LIMP-HOME MODE.
If the check engine warning lamp flashes when the engine is running, reduce the vehicle’s speed as soon as it is safe to do so. Seek qualified assistance immediately.
