- Engine Temperature Warning Light

• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.

• If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds 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.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be
badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an
authorized service center for service if your vehicle overheats.

BRAKE

- Brake Warning Light

• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system

malfunction or the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the
parking brake is not applied, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake System
problem.

• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the
brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle.
You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,

etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In
most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.

• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may

exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic
converter damage. We recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Electronic Stability Control OFF Warning Light

• If the ESC OFF warning light comes on continuously with the engine

running, a malfunction has been detected.

• If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has

been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the nearest service center and
have the vehicle serviced immediately.
