The "Key battery low" message means the key battery is low; replace the battery as soon as possible.

2020
The message means the system detected a fault requiring service, so have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

It means the driver seatbelt was not fastened when the ignition was turned on; buckle it, and the lamp and chime turn off.
Page 36 in the 2019 manual →2014–2016
The lamp means tire pressure is low; if it stays on with the engine running or while driving, check tire pressure as soon as possible.
It should illuminate briefly when you switch on the ignition; if it does not, or flashes at any time, have the vehicle checked by an authorized dealer.
Page 85 in the 2016 manual →What does the Check adaptive headlamps message mean?

Page 79 in the 2020 manual →What does the cabin air filter do?
2017–2019
The cabin air filter is behind the center console and reduces dust, spores, and pollen entering the vehicle interior.
Page 105 in the 2019 manual →2014–2016
If you primarily drive on dusty or sandy roads, inspect the cabin air filter frequently and replace it as required.
Page 325 in the 2016 manual →Can I run the climate control system without the cabin air filter?
2017–2019
No; keep a cabin air filter installed because operating without one can let foreign objects enter and may degrade or damage the system.
Page 105 in the 2019 manual →How do I use the headlamp exit delay?
2017–2019
After switching the ignition off, pull the direction indicator lever toward you; the headlamps turn off after three minutes with a door open or 30 seconds after the last door closes.
Pull the lever toward you again or switch the ignition on to cancel the feature.
