Shutdown
For vehicle with this feature, the check gages light
will come on if the system senses high engine
temperature, and a low or high engine oil pressure.

more information. If a high engine temperature is
detected, or if a low or high engine oil pressure is
detected, a tone alarm sounds. The alarm and the
light remains on until the condition is fixed. If the
engine temperature or oil pressure condition
worsens, the tone alarm increases in frequency.
If the system senses there is low engine coolant,
the alarm and the low coolant warning light
comes on.

more information.
The alarm means that your engine will shut down.

of operation. The engine will not shut down until
the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Notice: If you try to operate the vehicle after
the engine automatically shuts down, you
may damage the vehicle. Have your vehicle
repaired as soon as possible.
