Towing Hook Breakdown Warning
Light If Equipped
This light illuminates when there is a failure
with the tow hook. Contact an authorized
dealer for service.
Yellow Indicator Lights
4WD Low Indicator Light
If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. Low range provides
a greater gear reduction ratio to provide in-
creased torque at the wheels.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information on four-wheel drive op-
eration and proper use.
4WD Lock Indicator Light
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOCK mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together, forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion on four-wheel drive operation and proper
use.
Active Speed Limiter Fault
Indicator Light If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to signal
when there is a fault detected with the Active
Speed Limiter.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
Cleaning In Progress Indicator Light
Diesel Versions With DPF Only (If Equipped)
This indicator light will illuminate, or a mes-
sage will appear, to indicate that the DPF
system needs to eliminate the trapped pollut-
ants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
The light/message does not switch on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when driv-
ing conditions require that the driver is noti-
fied. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle
in motion until the regeneration process is
over. On average, the process lasts 15 min-
utes.
Optimal conditions for completing the pro-
cess are achieved by travelling at 37 mph
(60 km/h) with engine speed above
2000 rpm.
When this light/message switches on, it does
not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it
should not be taken to a workshop.
NOTE:
On some versions, together with the symbol
switching on, the display shows a dedicated
message.
CAUTION!
Vehicle travel speed should always be
adapted to the traffic and weather condi-
tions, and must always comply with traffic
regulations.
