These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is only
displayed in English.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT
- 46: This message will
appear if your vehicle is in PARK (P) for about 15
seconds and the brake is not pressed in. To remove this
message from the DIC display, hold the OFF and the
blue (cooler) buttons on the digital cluster control panel
for about five seconds. On the analog climate control
panel, press the OFF button (next to the MODE button)
and the down arrow on the PASS TEMP button for
about five seconds. Hold the same two buttons to
display the message again.

appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.

CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid
and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
- 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in RUN to inform the driver that
the brake fluid level is low. Check the brake reservoir
level and add fluid as needed. Have the brake system
serviced by a technician as soon as possible. If the brake
warning light is on, follow the directions in that part.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL
- 2: This message
will appear when there is a low level of engine coolant.
Have the cooling system serviced by a technician as
soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAUGE

(15.2 L) and the display is turned off (digital clusters
only). A single chime will also sound when this message
is displayed.
CHECK GAS CAP
- 61: This message will appear if
the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
recheck your gas cap to ensure that it's fully tightened.CHECK OIL LEVEL
- 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface. A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine
off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for five
minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
ªEngine Oilº in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID
- 25: This message will
appear for several seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.

door is open or ajar when this message appears. The
vehicle's engine must be running and the transaxle not
in PARK (P) for this message to display. A chime
will also sound when the vehicle's speed is greater than
5 mph (8 km/h).

- 44:
This message will appear when the engine coolant
temperature is over 248
F (126

strain on a hot engine, turn off the climate control
system. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle until it cools
down or the message is removed. If it does not cool
down, turn off the engine and have it serviced before
driving it again. Severe engine damage can result from
an overheated engine. See ªEngine Overheatingº in
the Index.

displays when the engine coolant becomes hotter than
the normal operating temperature. To avoid added strain
on a hot engine, the air conditioning compressor is

you must select AC to return to a normal A/C
compressor operation. If this message continues to
appear, have the system repaired as soon as possible to
avoid compressor damage.ENGINE MISFIRE, EASE OFF GAS PEDAL

START CAR. When the START CAR message is
displayed, try again to start the engine.
THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM/CAR MAY NOT
RESTART
- 34: This message means there is a
problem in the Personalized Automotive Security
System (PASS
-Key

appear when the PCM senses that the maximum speed
for your vehicle has been reached. The speed of your
