switch is in AUTO and the lights
turn on automatically.
U.S. Models except Touring

A/T Temperature
Indicator
This indicator monitors the
temperature of the automatic
transmission fluid. The indicator
should come on for a few seconds
when you turn the ignition switch to
ON (II). If it comes on while driving,
it indicates the transmission fluid
temperature is too high. Pull to the
side of the road when it is safe, shift
to Park, and let the engine idle until
the indicator goes out.
Continuing to drive with the A/T
Temperature indicator on may cause
serious damage to the transmission.
VTM-4 Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). If this
indicator comes on at any other time,
there is a problem in the 4WD
system. Take the vehicle to your
dealer to have it checked.
If the indicator blinks while driving,
pull to the side of the road when it is
safe, shift to Park, and let the engine
idle until the indicator goes out.
Continuing to drive with the VTM-4
indicator blinking may cause serious
damage to the system.
