- 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 service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) 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 service center 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.

- 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 “Check Gascap” message 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 due” message (shown as Oil Change Due) appears and a single chime

sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.

Resetting The Light After Servicing

• 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.
