Ford Fusion Hybrid Warning Lights: What They Mean

Other warnings and indicators

Stability and traction control light

Lit steadily when the stability or traction control system has a problem; flashes when a driving condition activates the systems; also shows briefly at engine start.
What to do: Check that traction control wasn't switched off manually; if the light stays on, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. PDF page 184

Service engine soon indicator

The OBD-II system has detected an emission-related malfunction, which may be temporary, such as running out of fuel or a loose fuel inlet.
What to do: Fix temporary causes; if the light stays on, have the vehicle serviced at the first available opportunity. PDF page 167

Low tire pressure telltale

One or more tires are significantly under-inflated. Flashing about a minute then staying lit signals a TPMS malfunction.
What to do: Stop and check the tires as soon as possible and inflate them to the proper pressure. After tire or wheel changes, check the TPMS malfunction telltale. PDF page 307
