gine overheats. If this occurs, stop the
engine immediately and allow the en-
gine to cool. The electrical circuit of the
warning light can be checked by turn-
ing the key to "ON". The warning light
should come on for a few seconds,and then go off. If the warning light
does not come on initially when the
key is turned to "ON", or if the warning

the self-diagnosis system. (See page
4-8 for an explanation of the self-diag-
nosis device.) The electrical circuit of
the warning light can be checked byturning the key to "ON". The warning

When the key is turned to "OFF" and
30 seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the
immobilizer system is enabled. After
24 hours have passed, the indicator
light will stop flashing, however the im-
