— Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine
condition. As engine coolant temperatures
rise and the gauge approaches H, this indica-
tor will illuminate and a single chime will
sound after reaching a set threshold.
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 vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately and call
for service. Refer to "If Your Engine Over-
heats" in "In Case Of Emergency" for further
information.
— Oil Temperature Warning Light
This telltale indicates vehicle oil temperature
is high. If the light turns on while driving,
stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as
soon as possible.
— Battery Charge Warning Light
This light illuminates when the battery is not
charging properly. If it stays on while the
engine is running, there may be a malfunc-
tion with the charging system. Contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible. This
indicates a possible problem with the electri-
cal system or a related component.
If jump starting is required, refer to "Jump-
Starting" in "In Case Of Emergency."
— Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
Light
This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a
problem is detected while the vehicle is run-
ning, the light will either stay on or flash
depending on the nature of the problem. Cycle
the ignition key when the vehicle is safely and
completely stopped and the transmission is
placed in the PARK position. The light should
turn off. If the light remains on with the vehicle
under power, your vehicle will usually be driv-
able; however, see an authorized dealer for
service as soon as possible.
If the light continues to flash when the ve-
hicle is under power, immediate service is
required and you may experience reduced
performance, and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will come on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position
and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the
light does not come on during starting, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
— Electric Power Steering Fail
Warning Light
This warning light indicates that there is a
fault in your vehicle's Electric Power Steering
system.
NOTE:
• If the power steering assistance is no longer
operational, it is still possible to steer the
vehicle. Under these conditions there will
be a substantial increase in steering effort,
especially at low speeds and during parking
maneuvers.
• See your authorized dealer for service.
— Door Open Warning Light
This indicator will illuminate when a door is
ajar/open and not fully closed.
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
