Low Traction Light
LOW TRAC
When your anti-lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid,
this light will come on.
(Also see "Anti-Lock Brake
System Active Light"
earlier in this section.)
Engine Coolant Temperature Light
This light tells you that your
engine coolant has
overheated or your radiator
-
cooling fan is not working.
TEMP
Slippery road conditions may exist if the low traction
light comes on, so adjust your driving accordingly. The
light will stay on for a few seconds after the anti-lock
system stops adjusting brake pressure.
The LOW TRAC light also comes on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn't come
on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you when
the anti-lock brake system is active.
The light should come on briefly when your ignition is
turned on to show you that it is working.
If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop
your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
The "Problems on the Road" section of this manual
shows what to do. See "Engine Overheating" in
the Index.
