If the light continues to flash when the vehicle is
running, immediate service is required and you may
experience reduced performance, an elevated/
rough idle, or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing. The light will come on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/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.
— Engine Coolant Temperature Warn-
ing Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the engine coolant temperature is too high, this
indicator will illuminate and a single chime will
sound. If the temperature reaches the upper limit, a
continuous chime will be sound for four minutes or
until the engine is able to cool: whichever comes
first.
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 normal, turn the engine off immediately
and call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine Over-
heats” in “In Case Of Emergency” for further infor-
mation.
— Liftgate Open Warning Light
This indicator will turn when the liftgate is open.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a single
chime.
— Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
This light indicates when the driver or passenger
seat belt is unbuckled. When the ignition is first
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN posi-
tion and if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a
chime will sound and the light will turn on. When
driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt
remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will flash or remain on continuously and a chime will
sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints Systems” in
“Safety” for further information.
— Transmission Temperature Warning
Light — If Equipped
This light indicates high transmission fluid tempera-
ture. This may occur with strenuous usage such as
trailer towing. If this light turns on, stop the vehicle
and run the engine at idle or slightly faster, with the
transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, until the light
turns off. Once the light turns off, you may continue
to drive normally.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light is illu-
minated you could cause the fluid to boil over,
come in contact with hot engine or exhaust com-
ponents and cause a fire.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Tem-
perature Warning Light illuminated will eventu-
ally cause severe transmission damage or trans-
mission failure.
— Vehicle Security Warning Light — If
Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for approximately
15 seconds when the vehicle security alarm is arm-
ing, and then will flash slowly until the vehicle is
disarmed.
