Indicator Lamps

Lamp	Indicates	Condition
	Cruise Control Enabled	Before using the cruise control, read the safety and operation procedures. See Operating Cruise Control.
	Cruise Control Engaged	Before using the cruise control, read the safety and operation procedures. See Operating Cruise Control.
	Anti-Lock Brake System	Your dealer can assist if this lamp remains on. When the lamp is illuminated, the anti-lock brakes will not activate, but the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally.
	High Beam	This lamp illuminates when the headlamp switch is set to high beam.
	Turn Signal / Hazard Signals	The turn signals are located at the top center of the instrument cluster. Arrows flash when either a turn signal or the hazard signal is activated. If a lamp fails, or if there is a short circuit in the signal system, the lamp flashes at more than twice the normal rate.
	Low Fuel	This lamp illuminates when approximately one gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel remains in the fuel tank.
	Engine Overheat	This lamp illuminates to indicate an overheated engine. If the indicator flashes, the overheating condition remains, and the system will automatically reduce engine power.
	Check Engine	If this lamp illuminates while the engine is running, promptly contact an authorized dealer or another qualified person who can assist with diagnosis. If abnormal engine operation is detected the light will remain on as long as the fault condition exists. Retrieve the error codes for diagnosis. See the Error Codes section for details. This lamp is also known as a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
	Low Battery Voltage	This lamp illuminates when battery voltage is low (or when voltage is above the normal range). Turn non-essential accessories off to conserve power. Make sure the charging system is operating properly.
	Traction Control	This lamp illuminates if the user disables traction control with the ESP Switch. See Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Switch.
	ESP Disabled	This lamp illuminates if the user disables the ESP with the ESP Switch. Always enable the ESP for normal operation. See Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Switch.
	ESP Intervention	The ESP intervention lamp flashes when the ESP is actively assisting. The lamp illuminates solid to indicate a system fault and the ESP will be disabled. If the lamp illuminates solid, your dealer can inspect the vehicle and perform service. A flashing ESP icon indicates that the ESP is intervening to maintain control of the SLINGSHOT. Modify your driving behavior if this occurs. Slow down and reduce steering inputs.
	Brake Failure	This lamp illuminates if a brake component is not operating properly. Do not operate the vehicle. Inspect brake fluid levels. Your dealer can inspect the vehicle and perform service.
	Seat Belt	The seat belt lamp illuminates whenever the vehicle is in ignition state and the driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
	Pinion-Assisted Electric Power Steering Warning	This lamp illuminates briefly when the vehicle is in ignition state. If ignition state is activated for 5 minutes without starting the engine, the lamp illuminates to indicate that the PEPS has shut down to conserve battery power. If the lamp illuminates after starting the engine, the power steering system is inoperative. Your dealer can inspect the vehicle and perform service if the lamp illuminates after starting the engine.
	Park Brake Engaged	This lamp illuminates when the park brake is engaged. If it illuminates when the park brake is NOT engaged, your dealer can inspect the vehicle and perform service
	Low Oil Pressure	This lamp illuminates if engine oil pressure drops below safe operating pressure. If this lamp illuminates while the engine is running, turn the engine off as soon as safely possible and check the oil level. If the oil level is correct and the lamp remains on after the engine is restarted, turn the engine off immediately.
