This indicator normally comes on
when you turn the ignition to the ON
(II) position and goes off after the
engine starts. If it comes on at any
other time, there is a problem with
the power steering system. You will
also see a ‘‘CHECK POWER
STEERING SYSTEM’’ message on
the multi-information display (see
page

). If this happens, stop the

vehicle in a safe place, and turn off
the engine. Reset the system by
restarting the engine, and watch this
indicator. If it does not go off or
comes back on again while driving,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
have it checked. With the indicator
on, the ECPS is turned off, which
could make the vehicle harder to
steer.

This indicator comes on when there
is a system message on the multi-
information display. Press the INFO
button on the steering wheel (see
page

) to see the message (see

page

).

Most of the time, this indicator
comes on along with other indicators
in the instrument panel such as the
seat belt reminder indicator, SRS
indicator, VSA system indicator, etc.

This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it comes on at any other
time, it indicates that there is a
problem with the system. You will
also see a ‘‘CHECK KEYLESS
ACCESS SYSTEM’’ message on the
multi-information display (see page

). For more information, see page

.

The indicator comes on when you
run the engine while the vehicle is
not moving. To turn the indicator off,

restart the engine.
