engine is not running. If the light does not
come on, have it repaired. This light will also
come on during a malfunction in one of two ways:

system malfunction has been detected on your
vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be
required.

Avoid steep uphill grades.
If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount
of cargo being hauled as soon as it is
possible.
