Dodge Durango 2013 Owner's Manual page 337

If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the
engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the
vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is
placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle
will usually be drivable. However, see an authorized dealer
for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when
the engine is running, immediate service is required. You
may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough
idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
• Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
As temperatures rise and the gauge approaches H,
this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound
after reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will
cause the temperature gauge to pass H, the indicator will
continuously flash and a continuous chime will occur until
the engine is allowed to cool.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 335
If the light turns on 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 ve-
hicle. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service. Refer to "If Your Engine Overheats" in "What To
Do In Emergencies" for more information.
• Transmission Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that there is excessive trans-
mission fluid temperature that might occur
with severe usage such as trailer towing. It may
also occur when operating the vehicle in a high
torque converter slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive
operation (e.g., snow plowing, off- road operation). If this
light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle
or faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the
light goes off.
