GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning
Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a problem with the ETC system.
If a problem is detected while the vehicle
is running, the light will either stay on or
flash depending on the nature of the problem.
Cycle the ignition when the vehicle is safely and
completely stopped and the transmission is placed
in the PARK (P) position. The light should turn off.
If the light remains on with the vehicle running,
your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see
an authorized dealer for service as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
This light may turn on if the accelerator and brake
pedals are pressed at the same time.
If the light continues to flash when the vehicle is
running, immediate service is required and you
may experience reduced performance, an
elevated/rough idle, or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing. The light will come on
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/
ON/RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during starting,
have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
This light warns of an overheated engine
condition. If the engine coolant
temperature is too high, this indicator will
illuminate and a single chime will sound.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over
and stop the vehicle. If the Air Conditioning (A/C)
system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to normal,
turn the engine off immediately and call for service
Ú page 240.

This warning light will illuminate when the
hood is left open and not fully closed.

Oil Pressure Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to

will sound when this light turns on and a
message "Oil Pressure Low" will display
in the message screen. If the light turns on while
driving, pull the vehicle to the side of the road at a
safe location, stop the vehicle, shut off the engine
as soon as possible, check the oil level and correct
the oil level if it is low. Contact an authorized
dealer.
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is
corrected. This light may or may not indicate how
much oil is in the engine. If the oil level is low and
corrected, the engine can be restarted. Otherwise
the vehicle should be serviced by an authorized
dealer Ú page 247.
NOTE:
The light may flash, a message in the center of the
dash may display momentarily "low oil pressure"
and a chime may occur during sharp cornering
maneuvers. If this happen it may indicate a low oil
level. The oil level should be checked and dealer
service performed if this occurs.
CAUTION!
If the vehicle is driven with low oil levels severe
engine damage can occur. Have the vehicle
checked immediately.
