- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we

recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the

ignition 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 service center immediately. If the light is flashing when
the engine 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.

- Airbag Warning Light

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the

vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message

• If a “gas cap” message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas cap until a

“clicking” sound is heard.

• Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off.

• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas

cap, see your authorized service center.

Oil Change Indicator

Message

• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHAngE OIL) appears and a single chime

sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.

Resetting The Light After Servicing

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

HOTOIL – Transmission Temperature Warning Message

• The HOTOIL cluster message will appear in the odometer accompanied with a

chime to indicate that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might
occur with severe usage such as trailer towing.

• It may also occur when operating the vehicle in a high torque converter slip

condition, such as 4-wheel-drive operation (e.g., snow plowing, off-road operation).

• If this HOTOIL message turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or

faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the message turns off.
