The main dashboard indicators include the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and various warning lights such as the check engine light, oil pressure light, and ABS light.
To reset the maintenance light, turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Press the SELECT/RESET knob until the engine oil life indicator is displayed, then press and hold the knob for about 10 seconds until the indicator begins to blink. Release the knob and press it again for about 5 seconds to reset the indicator.
Check the tire pressures with a gauge to ensure they are inflated to the recommended levels. If the pressures are correct and the light remains on, there may be an issue with the TPMS sensors, and it is advisable to have them inspected by a professional.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance such as oil changes and air filter replacements. Maintain proper tire pressure, drive at steady speeds, and avoid rapid acceleration and braking.
The “Check Engine” light indicates a possible issue with the vehicle's emissions, ignition, fuel, or exhaust systems. It is important to have the vehicle diagnosed with a code reader to determine the specific problem.
To adjust the dashboard light brightness, use the brightness control knob located on the dashboard near the speedometer. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the brightness as desired.
The airbag warning light indicates a fault in the airbag system, which could mean the airbags may not deploy in an accident. It is important to have the system checked by a professional as soon as possible.
To calibrate the compass, press and hold the compass button until the CAL indicator is displayed. Drive the vehicle slowly in circles until the CAL indicator goes off, indicating that the compass is calibrated.
Flickering dashboard lights can be caused by a failing alternator, a weak battery, or loose electrical connections. It is recommended to have the electrical system inspected to identify the issue.
To connect your phone via Bluetooth, enable Bluetooth on your phone and set it to discoverable. On the dashboard, select the phone menu, then choose “Add Bluetooth Device.” Follow the prompts to pair your phone with the vehicle's system.
