HONDA 2006 Ridgeline - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 66)

This indicator monitors the
temperature of the automatic
transmission fluid. It should come on
for a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). If it comes
on while driving, it means the
transmission fluid temperature is too
high. Pull to the side of the road
when it is safe, shift to Park, and let
the engine idle until the indicator
goes out. This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to ON (II). If it comes
on at any other time, there is a
problem in the 4WD system. Take
the vehicle to your dealer to have it
checked.
If the indicator blinks while driving,
the VTM-4 fluid temperature is too
high. Pull to the side of the road
when it is safe, shift to Park, and let
the engine idle until the indicator
goes out.
This indicator reminds you that the
exterior lights are on. It comes on
when you turn the headlight control
dial to either the
or
position.
If you turn the ignition switch to
ACCESSORY (I) or LOCK (0)
without turning off the headlight
control dial, this indicator remains on.
A reminder chime will also sound
when you open the driver’s door.
