Vehicle.” Follow the warnings under the “Cooling
System Pressure Cap” paragraph.

18. Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condition. As

engine coolant temperatures rise and the gauge ap-

proaches H, this indicator will illuminate and a single

chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and

stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also,

shift the transmission into NEUTRAL with the park

brake applied and idle the vehicle. If the temperature

reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off

immediately and call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine

Overheats” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for further

information.

19. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

This light informs you of a problem with

engine torque (or power) generation. If a prob-

lem is detected, the light will come on while the

engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when

the vehicle has completely stopped. The light should turn

off. If the light remains lit with the engine running, your

vehicle will usually be drivable (although performance

will be limited), see an authorized dealer for service as

soon as possible. 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. The

light will come on when the ignition is first turned to

ON/RUN 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.
