Charging System Telltale

This telltale shows the status of the electrical
charging system. If the telltale stays on or comes

on while driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s non-
essential electrical devices or increase engine speed (if at
idle). If the charging system telltale remains on, it means
that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the
charging system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See
an authorized dealer.

• If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting

Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies”.

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Telltale

This telltale informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If the
telltale comes on while driving, have the sys-
tem checked by an authorized dealer.

• If a problem is detected, the telltale 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 telltale should turn off.

• If the telltale remains lit with the engine running, your

vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an
authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the
telltale is flashing when the engine is running, imme-
diate service is required. You may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall
and your vehicle may require towing.
