This light normally comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch ON (II). If this light
comes on at any other time, there is
a problem in the 4WD system. Take
the vehicle to your dealer to have it
checked. This indicator monitors the
temperature of the automatic
transmission fluid. The indicator
should come on for a few seconds
when you turn the ignition switch
ON (II). If it comes on while driving,
it indicates the transmission fluid
temperature is too high. Pull to the
side of the road when it is safe, shift
to Park, and let the engine idle until
the indicator goes out.
If the indicator blinks while driving,
pull to the side of the road when it is
safe, shift to Park, and let the engine

This indicator reminds you that the
exterior lights are on. It comes on
when the light switch is in either the

automatically. If you turn the ignition
switch to ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK
(0) without turning off the light
switch, this indicator will remain on.
A reminder chime will also sound
when you open the driver’s door.
