- 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 dealer 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 dealer immediately.

CAUTION!
• Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive
Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage
and may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT)
engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Ad-
ditive Technology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally com-
patible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is intro-
duced into the cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need
to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to
MS-12106), by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.
• This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based en-
gine coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (anti-
freeze) is not recommended.
