If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
United States Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into the red area, your engine is
too hot!
It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under normal driving
conditions, you should pull off the road, stop as soon
your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
The check tire pressure system can alert you to a large
change in the pressure of one tire. After the system has
been properly calibrated, the light will come on if a
pressure difference (low pressure) is detected in one tire.
The light will stay on until you turn off the ignition or
reset (calibrate) the system. See “Check Tire Pressure
System” in the Index.
The light also comes on briefly when you turn your
ignition key to If the light doesn’t come on then, have it
fixed so it will be there to tell you if the pressure in a
tire is low.
If the anti
-
lock brake system warning light comes on,
the check tire pressure system may not be working
properly. See your dealer for service. Also, see
“Anti
-
Lock Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
On vehicles with the optional Driver Information
Center (DIC), a CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message
replaces the TIRE PRESS light when the system
detects a pressure difference (low pressure) in one tire.
See “DIC Warnings and Messages” in the Index for
more information.
