Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning
Light

The engine coolant temperature
warning light comes on briefly when
the vehicle is started.

If it does not, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer. If the
system is working normally, the
indicator light then goes off.

If the light comes on and stays on
while driving, the vehicle may have
a problem with the cooling system.
Stop and turn off the vehicle to
avoid damage to the engine.
A warning chime sounds when this
light is on.

See Engine Overheating on
page 10‑17
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 Vehicle Messages on
page 5‑31
for more information.
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 10‑42
for more information.

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 10‑44
for more
information.
