11. Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light will turn on and a single chime will

sound to warn of an overheated engine condition.

When this light turns on, the engine temperature is

critically hot. Further overheating will cause a continu-

ous chime will sound for 4 minutes or until the engine is

allowed to cool. If the light turns on while driving, safely

pull over and stop the vehicle. The vehicle should be

turned OFF immediately and serviced as soon as pos-

sible. (Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To

Do In Emergencies” for further information).
12. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light — If Equipped

The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator

Light” in the instrument cluster will come on

when the ignition switch is turned to the

ON/RUN position. It should go out with the

engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction In-

dicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine

running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC

system. 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), see

your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the

problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:

• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC

Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” come on

momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned

to ON/RUN.

• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC

system will be ON, even if it was turned off previously.

• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking

sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds

will stop when ESC becomes inactive following the

maneuver that caused the ESC activation.
