If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting

Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies.”
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

This light informs you of a problem with the

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. The

light will come on when the ignition is first

turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb

check. If the light does not come on during starting, have

the system checked by an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the

engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the

vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is

placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off.
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.
