- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on or flashes continuously 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 and idle the
vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or
boiling coolant.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parkingbrake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates a possible
brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the vehicle
checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several
typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do not
operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Charging System Light

Engine Oil Overheating — 2.4L Gas
• On hot days the engine oil temperature may become too hot during sustained high-speeddriving or if towing a trailer up long grades. If this happens, a HOTOIL message will flash in the
odometer and the vehicle speed will be reduced to 48 mph (77 km/h) maximum until the
engine oil temperature is reduced.
NOTE:
Although the maximum vehicle speed is reduced to 48 mph (77 km/h), you may reduce vehicle speed
further as needed. Once the engine oil temperature is reduced, you may continue to drive normally.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads
HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off
until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on HOT (H), and
you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the
radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the
radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
