EVIC White Telltale Lights
This area will show reconfigurable white caution telltales.
These telltales include:
• Shift Lever Status
The shift lever status “P,R,N,D,L,5,4,3,2,1” are displayed indicating the shift lever position. Telltales “5,4,3,2,1” indicate the Electronic Range Select (ERS) feature has been engaged and the gear selected is displayed. For further information on ERS, refer to “Starting And Operating”
• Electronic Speed Control ON
This light will turn on when the electronic speed control is ON. For further information, refer to “Electronic Speed Control” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle.”
• Electronic Speed Control SET
This light will turn on when the electronic speed control is SET. For further information, refer to “Electronic Speed Control” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle.”
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON
This light will turn on when the ACC is ON.
For further information, refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle.”

• Power Steering System Over Temperature — If Equipped
If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” message and a icon are displayed on the EVIC screen, it indicates that extreme steering maneuvers may have occurred, which caused an over temperature condition in the power steering system. You will lose power steering assistance momentarily until the over temperature condition no longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe, then pull over and let vehicle idle. After five minutes, the system will cool and return to normal operation. Refer to “Power Steering” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
NOTE:
• Even if power steering assistance is no longer operational,
it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under
these conditions there will be a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
• If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for service.
