• The Generic Warning Light will illuminate if any of the following conditions occur:
Oil Change Request, Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure, After Run Cooling
Pump, External Light Failure, Fuel Cut-Off Intervention, Fuel Cut-Off Not Available,
Parking Sensor Failure.
- Power Steering System Warning
• If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” message and icon are dis-
played in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display, it indicates that
extreme steering maneuvers have occurred, which caused an over temperature
condition in the power steering system. You will lose power steering assistance
momentarily until the over temperature condition no longer exists. Once driving
conditions are safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle. After approximately five min-
utes, the system will cool and return to normal operation.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to nor-
mal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned
by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized studio for service
if your vehicle overheats.

NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tem-
perature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage,
especially in the winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the out-
side temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be in-
creased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this
outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermar-
ket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or bal-
ance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or
the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied,
it indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an
Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake sys-
tem may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a colli-
sion. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc.,
may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the
light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle
will drive normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that
could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage.
We recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced
immediately.

- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging sys-
tem light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the
charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound when
this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recom-
mend you drive to the nearest authorized studio immediately and have the vehicle
serviced immediately.
- Air Bag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized studio immediately.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not in-
crease engine idle speed.
NOTE:There are steps that you can take to slow down an overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the en-
gine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to
floor and the Fan control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immedi-
ately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
