Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.

This light does not show how much oil is in the engine.

The engine oil level must be checked under the hood.
Oil Temperature Warning Light

This telltale indicates engine oil temperature is

high. If the light turns on while driving, stop

the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as

possible.

Charging System Light

This light shows the status of the electrical charg-

ing system. If the light 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 light remains on, it means that the

vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging

system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho-

rized dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting

Procedures” in “What To Do In Emergencies”.

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

This light informs you of a problem with the

Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. The

light will come on when the ignition is first

turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb

check. If the light does not come on during starting, have

the system checked by an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the light 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 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. You may experience reduced performance, an

elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may

require towing.
