WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned
by steam or boiling coolant.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) sys-
tem.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle
the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable;
however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experi-
ence reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your ve-
hicle may require towing.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
• This light indicates the ESC system has been turned off by the driver.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch. This mode is
intended for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also in-
tended for driving in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin
than ESC would normally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESC on again,
momentarily press the switch again. This will restore the normal ESC On mode of
operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used
on public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned
OFF, except for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section. To enter the
"Full Off" mode, depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds. After five
seconds, the ESC OFF Indicator Light will illuminate, and the "ESC OFF" message
will display in the EVIC. To turn ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF
switch.
