If the light remains lit with the engine running, your

vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an autho-

rized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is

flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is

required. You may experience reduced performance, an

elevated/rough idle or engine stall, and your vehicle

may require towing.
Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condi-

tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap-

proaches H, this indicator will illuminate, and a single

chime will sound after reaching a set threshold. Further

overheating will cause the temperature gauge to pass H,

a continuous chime will occur 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 ve-

hicle. If the temperature reading does not return to

normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for

service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To

Do In Emergencies” for more information.
Transmission Temperature Warning Light

This light indicates that the transmission fluid

temperature is running hot. This may occur

with severe usage, 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 Transmission Tempera-
ture Warning Light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or transmission failure.
