charging system is experiencing a problem. See your
local authorized dealer to obtain service immediately.

If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting

7. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light

This light will turn on briefly as a bulb check
when the ignition switch is placed in ON/
RUN. This light will also turn on while the

engine is running if there is a problem with the Electronic
Throttle Control (ETC) system.

If the light comes on while the engine is running, safely
bring the vehicle to a complete stop as soon as possible,
place the shift lever in PARK, for manual transmission
place the transmission in neutral, apply the parking
brake, and cycle the ignition key. 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. In this case, you may
experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle
or engine stall, and your vehicle may require towing.

Also, have the system checked by an authorized dealer if
the light does not come on during starting.

8. Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera-
ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that
the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera-
ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades,
or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
