5-20 Instruments and Controls
Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning
Light The engine coolant temperature
light should come on briefly as the
engine is started. If it does not come
on have the vehicle serviced by
your dealer.
Notice: The engine coolant
temperature warning light
indicates that the vehicle has
overheated. Driving with this light
on can damage the engine and it
may not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. See Engine
Overheating on page 10 ‑ 18 .
If this light comes on and stays on,
the engine has overheated. Pull
over and see Engine Overheating
on page 10 ‑ 18 for more information. Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine is
started. It provides information
about tire pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of
the tires are significantly
underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC)
tire pressure message may also
display. See Tire Messages on
page 5 ‑ 34 . Stop as soon as
possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label. See
Tire Pressure on page 10 ‑ 43 . When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light
will come on at every ignition cycle.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 10 ‑ 46 .
Fuel Economy Light
For vehicles with the fuel economy
mode, this light comes on when the
eco (economy) button, located on
the center console near the shift
lever, is pressed. Press the button
