Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the on-board
diagnostics system (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to
On-board diagnostics (OBD-II)
in the
Maintenance and Specifications
chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could
damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and contact your authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
WARNING:
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.
Powertrain malfunction/reduced
power (RTT):
Illuminates when a
powertrain or an AWD fault has
been detected. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Brake system warning light:
To
confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to on when the
engine is not running, or in a position between on and start, or by
applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to on. If the brake
system warning light does not illuminate at this time, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible. Illumination after releasing the
parking brake indicates low brake fluid level or a brake system
malfunction. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING:
Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle.
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and
the risk of personal injury.
