- 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 dealership 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.

• We recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the 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 an accident.

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 as soon as possible if this
occurs.
