CAUTION!

Continuous driving with the Transmission Tempera-
ture Indicator illuminated will eventually cause se-
vere transmission damage or transmission failure.

31. Seat Belt Reminder Light

When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this
light will turn on for five to eight seconds as a bulb
check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat

belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb
check or when driving, if the driver’s seat belt remains

unbuckled, the seat belt reminder light will flash or
remain on continuously. Refer to

ЉEnhanced Seat Belt Use

Reminder System (BeltAlert

௡)Љ in the Occupant Re-

straints section for more information.

32. Charging System Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charging
system. The light should come on when the ignition

switch is first turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, turn
off some of the vehicle’s non-essential electrical devices or
increase engine speed (if at idle). If the charging system
light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing
a problem with the charging system. Obtain SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY. See an authorized dealer.

For vehicles equipped with a premium cluster this indi-
cator will display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC). Refer to ”Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) — If Equipped” in this section for more
information.
