- 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 service center immediately.

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message

• If a “gas cap” message (shown as Check Gascap) appears, tighten the gas cap

until a “clicking” sound is heard.

• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the

gas cap, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.

Oil Change Indicator

Message

• If an “oil change” message (shown as Oil Change Due) appears and a single chime

Resetting The Light After Servicing
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™

• Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle

the ignition to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.

• Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to

return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.

Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by

taking the appropriate action.

• On the highways — slow down.

• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not

increase engine idle speed.

NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine

cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.

• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to

floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling
system.
