soon as possible. This indicates a problem with the electrical system or a
related component.
Engine oil pressure (RTT):
Illuminates when the oil pressure
falls below the normal range. The
message center displays LOW OIL
PRESSURE when the engine oil level is low. Check the oil level and add
oil if needed. If the warning light or message stays on, even though the
oil level is correct, do not start the engine and contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible. This indicates a problem with the engine or a
related component. Refer toEngine oilin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter.
High engine or high motor
electronic coolant temperature
(RTT):Illuminates when the engine
coolant or motor electronics coolant temperature is high. The message
center displays HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE / HIGH MOTOR
TEMPERATURE when the engine coolant or motor electronics are
overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn off the
engine, and let it cool. Check the coolant and coolant level. If the light
and message stays on or continues to turn on after the vehicle warms
up, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Continuing to
drive with an overheated engine can cause serious engine damage. This
indicates a problem with the engine or a related component. Refer to
Engine coolant and motor/electronics coolantin theMaintenance
and Specificationschapter.
WARNING:Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot.
AdvanceTrac:Illuminates when
AdvanceTracis active. If the light

Checking engine coolant
The concentration and level of
engine coolant should be checked at
the intervals listed inscheduled
maintenance information. The
coolant concentration should be
maintained at 50/50 coolant and
distilled water, which equates to a
freeze point of -34°F (-36°C).
Coolant concentration testing is
possible with a hydrometer or
antifreeze tester. The level of
coolant should be maintained at the
FULL COLD level or within the
COLD FILL RANGE in the coolant
reservoir. If the level falls below, add
coolant per the instructions in theAdding engine coolantsection. When
the engine is cold, check the level of engine coolant in the reservoir.
Checking motor/electronics (M/E) coolant
The M/E coolant reservoir is located
at the rear of the engine
compartment. Refer to the following
engine coolant sections for all
information, instructions and
warnings related to cooling systems.
The two systems use the same
coolant and operate similarly, with
the Motor and Electronics system
generally operating at a lower
temperature and pressure. The fluid
levels in both reservoirs need to be maintained. When the engine is cold,
check the level of M/E coolant in the reservoir. The coolant should be at
the FULL COLD level as shown on the side of the coolant reservoir.
Factory fill and coolant specifications
Your vehicle was factory-filled with a 50/50 engine coolant and water
concentration. If the concentration of coolant falls below 40% or above
60%, the engine parts could become damaged or not work properly.A
50/50 mixture of coolant and water provides the following:
•Freeze protection down to -34°F (-36°C).
•Boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
