If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting
Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies”.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. The
light will come on when the ignition is first
turned to ON/RUN 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.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the
engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle
has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position. The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle
will usually be drivable. However, see an authorized dealer
for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when
the engine is running, immediate service is required. You
may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough
idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.

Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condi-
tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H, this indicator will illuminate and a

single chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge to
pass H, the indicator will continuously flash and a
continuous chime will occur until the engine is allowed
to cool.
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 ve-
hicle. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for more information.
