INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Generic Warning Light
• The Generic Warning Light will illuminate if any of the following conditions occur: En-
gine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure, 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 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 ap-
proximately five minutes, the system will cool and return to normal operation.
- Automatic Gearbox Failure
• This light will illuminate when there is an automatic transmission fault.
• Have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
- 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 normal, turn the
engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
