7. Air Bag Warning LightThis light will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the igni-
tion switch is first turned to
ON/RUN. If the light is either not on
during starting, stays on, or turns on
while driving, have the system in-
spected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible. Refer to “Occupant
Restraints” in “Things To Know Be-
fore Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
8. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is
first turned to ON/RUN, this
light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt
is unbuckled, a chime will sound.
After the bulb check or when driving,
if the driver seat belt remains unbuck-
led, the Seat Belt Warning Light will
flash or remain on continuously. Refer
to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things
To Know Before Starting Your Ve-
hicle” for further information. 9. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine
oil pressure. The light will
come on and remain on when the
ignition switch is turned from the
OFF to the ON/RUN position, and the
light will turn off after the engine is
started. If the bulb does not come on
during starting, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
If the light comes on and remains on
while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine. DO NOT OPER-
ATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE
CAUSE IS CORRECTED.
The light does not show the quantity
of oil in the engine. This can be deter-
mined using the procedure shown in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
10. Engine Temperature Warning
Light
This light warns of an over-
heated engine condition. As
engine coolant temperature rise and
the gauge approaches H, the light will
illuminate and a single chime will
sound after reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will cause a con-
tinuous chime sound for 4 minutes or
until the engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on 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 normal, turn the
engine off immediately and call for ser-
vice. Refer to “If Your Engine Over-
heats” in “What To Do In Emergencies”
for further information.11. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various
brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake ap-
plication. If the brake light turns on it
may indicate that the parking brake is
applied, that the brake fluid level is low,
or that there is a problem with the anti-
lock brake system.
The dual brake system provides a re-
serve braking capacity in the event of
a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. Failure of either half of the
dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light which will turn
112

on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a
specified level.
The light will remain on until the
cause is corrected.
NOTE: The light may flash mo-
mentarily during sharp cornering
maneuvers which change fluid
level conditions. The vehicle
should have service performed,
and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immedi-
ate repair is necessary.WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the brake
light on is dangerous. Part of the
brake system may have failed. It
will take longer to stop the vehicle.
You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock
brakes (ABS), are also equipped with
Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD). In the event of an EBD failure,
the Brake Warning Light will turn on
along with the ABS Light. Immediate
repair to the ABS system is required. The operation of the Brake Warning
Light can be checked by turning the
ignition switch from the OFF position
to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately
three seconds. The light should then
turn off unless the parking brake is
applied or a brake fault is detected.
If the light does not illuminate, have
the light inspected by an authorized
dealer.
The light also will turn on when the
parking brake is applied with the igni-
tion switch in the ON/RUN position.NOTE: This light shows only
that the parking brake is applied.
It does not show the degree of
brake application.

mation Center (EVIC)” for specific
messages).
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition ex-
ists, the odometer display will toggle
between LoW and TirE for three
cycles. HOTOIL
When this message is displayed there
is a engine oil over-temperature con-
dition. When this condition occurs,
the “HOTOIL” message will be dis-
played in the odometer along with a
chime.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats”
in “What To Do In Emergencies”.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an en-
gine oil change indicator system. The
“CHAngE OIL” message will flash in
the instrument cluster odometer for
approximately 12 seconds after a
single chime has sounded to indicate
the next scheduled oil change inter-
val. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle based, which
means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate dependent upon your
personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue
to display each time you turn the igni-
tion switch to the “ON/RUN” position.
To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Trip Odometer
button on the instrument cluster. To
reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled main-
tenance) perform the following proce-
dure:
1.
Turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position (do not start the
engine).
2.
Fully depress the accelerator
pedal slowly 3 times within 10 sec-
onds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message
illuminates when you start the
vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary,
repeat this procedure. 4.

22. Vehicle Security LightThis light will flash rapidly
for approximately 16 sec-
onds when the alarm sys-
tem is arming. The light will
begin to flash slowly indicating that
the system is armed. The light will
stop flashing when the vehicle is
disarmed.
23. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the
ABS. This light will come on
when the ignition key is
turned to the ON/RUN po-
sition and may stay on for approxi-
mately three seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or comes
on during driving, it indicates that the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake sys-
tem is not functioning and that service
is required, however, the conventional
brake system will continue to operate
normally provided that the BRAKE
warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake sys-
tem should be serviced as soon as
possible to restore the benefit of Anti-
Lock Brakes.
The ABS warning light should be
checked frequently to assure that it is
operating properly. Turn the ignition
key to the on position, but do not start
the vehicle. The light should come on.
If the light does not come on, have the
system inspected by an authorized
dealer.
24. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Malfunction Indicator Light
The “ESC Malfunction In-
dicator Light” in the instru-
ment cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON/RUN position. It
should go out with the engine run-
ning. If the “ESC Malfunction Indica-
tor Light” comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunc-
tion has been detected in the ESC
system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle
has been driven several miles (kilo-
meters) at speeds greater than
48 km/h, see your authorized dealer
as soon as possible to have the prob-
lem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
 The “ESC Off Indicator Light”
and the “ESC Malfunction Indi-
cator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN.
 Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will
be ON, even if it was turned off
previously.
 The ESC system will make buzz- ing or clicking sounds when it is
active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC be-
comes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESC
activation.116

26. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system
called OBD that monitors emissions,
engine, and automatic transmission
control systems. The light will illumi-
nate when the key is in the ON/RUN
position before engine start. If the
bulb does not come on when turning
the key from LOCK to ON/RUN, have
the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the light after
engine start. The vehicle should be
serviced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles.
In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service
is required.WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly
or park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, card-
board, etc. This could result in
death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others. 27. Transmission Temperature
Warning Light
This light indicates that the
transmission fluid tempera-
ture is running hot. This
may occur with severe us-
age, such as trailer towing. If this light
turns on, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle. Then, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and run the engine at
idle or faster until the light turns off.
CAUTION!Continuous driving with the Trans-
mission Temperature Warning Light
illuminated will eventually cause se-
vere transmission damage or trans-
mission failure.WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated and
you continue operating the vehicle,
in some circumstances you could
cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
