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 ON 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 autho-

rized 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.

Electric Power Steering Malfunction Warning Light

This telltale is on when the Electric Power

Steering is not operating and needs service.

Air Bag Warning Light

This light will illuminate for four to eight

seconds as a bulb check when the ignition

switch is first turned to ON/RUN. If the light is

either not on during starting, stays on, or

illuminates while driving, have the system inspected at

an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Refer to “Oc-

cupant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting

Your Vehicle” for further information.
