ENGINE PROTECTION REDUCE ENGINE RPM: If this
message appears, the control system has determined
that continued operation at the existing engine
speed may lead to engine overheating. Therefore, you
should lower the engine speed by upshifting the
transmission or drive at a lower speed.
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED: If it’s dark enough
outside and the headlamps and Twilight Sentinel
®
controls are off, this message will display on the DIC.
This message informs the driver that turning on the
exterior lamps is recommended even though the DRL
are still illuminated. It has become dark enough outside
to require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps.
This message will also appear if the optional
Rainsense™ wiping feature is on and the Twilight
Sentinel
®
is off.
HIGH TRANS TEMP: This message indicates that the
transaxle fluid in your vehicle is too hot. Stop and
allow your vehicle to idle until it cools down or until this
message is removed.
HIGH VOLTAGE: This message shows that the
electrical charging system is overcharging. To avoid
being stranded, have the electrical system checked by
your dealership. You can reduce the charging
overload by using the accessories. Turn on the lamps
and radio, set the climate control on AUTO and the
fan speed on HI, and turn the rear window defogger on.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing
the INFO button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running.
HOT ENGINE–A/C OFF: This message displays when
the engine coolant becomes hotter than the normal
operating temperature. To avoid added strain on a hot
engine, the air conditioning compressor is automatically
turned off. When the coolant temperature returns to
normal, the A/C operation will automatically resume.
You can continue to drive your vehicle. If this message
continues to appear, have the system repaired as
soon as possible to avoid compressor damage.
ICE POSSIBLE: This message appears when the
outside air temperature is cold enough to create icy
road conditions.
LEFT DOOR AJAR: This message will display anytime
the vehicle engine is running, the transmission is not
in PARK (P) and the driver’s door is open or ajar.
A chime will sound when the vehicle’s speed is greater
than 3 mph (4.8 km/h).
LOW BRAKE FLUID: This message will display if the
vehicle is running to inform the driver that the brake
fluid level is low. Have the brake system serviced by a
technician as soon as possible. See “Brake Fluid”
under
Brakes on page 5-35.
