• If a problem is detected, the telltale 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 telltale should turn

off.

• If the telltale 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

telltale is flashing when the engine is running, imme-

diate service is required. You may experience reduced

performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall

and your vehicle may require towing.

Engine Temperature Warning Telltale

This telltale warns of an overheated engine con-

dition. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap-

proaches H, this telltale will illuminate and a single

chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.

• If the telltale 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 Overheats” in

“What To Do In Emergencies” for more information.

Electric Power Steering Malfunction

This telltale is on when the Electric Power

Steering is not operating and needs service.
