INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Generic Warning Light
• The Generic Warning Light will illuminate if any of the following conditions occur:
Oil Change Request, Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure, After Run Cooling
Pump, External Light Failure, Fuel Cut-Off Intervention, Fuel Cut-Off Not Available,
Parking Sensor Failure.
- Power Steering System Warning
• If the "POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP" message and icon are displayed
in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display, it indicates that extreme
steering maneuvers have occurred, which caused an over temperature condition in
the power steering system. You will lose power steering assistance momentarily
until the over temperature condition no longer exists. Once driving conditions are
safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle. After approximately five minutes, the system
will cool and return to normal operation.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the 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 nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately.
• 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. You may want to call an authorized studio for service
if your vehicle overheats.
