- 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 recommend you

drive to the nearest authorized dealer immediately and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the system.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the

ignition 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 authorized dealer immediately. If the light is flashing when the engine is
running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance,
an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.

— Transmission Temperature Warning Light

• This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might

occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, stop the vehicle and
run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light turns off. Once
the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.

- 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.

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message

• If a “gas cap” message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas cap until a “clicking”

sound is heard.

• Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off.

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

cap, see your authorized service center.

Oil Change Indicator

Message

• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHANgE OIL) appears and a single chime sounds,

it is time for your next required oil change.

Resetting The Light After Servicing

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

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

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