ranty, dial toll-free 1-888-242-6342. See your Warranty booklet for further details.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Generic Warning Light
• The Generic Warning Light will illuminate if any of the following conditions occur:
Oil Change Request, Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure, After Run Cooling
Pump, External Light Failure, Fuel Cut-Off Intervention, Fuel Cut-Off Not Available,
Parking Sensor Failure.
- Power Steering System Warning
• If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER TEMP” message and icon are dis-
played in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display, it indicates that
extreme steering maneuvers have occurred, which caused an over temperature
condition in the power steering system. You will lose power steering assistance
momentarily until the over temperature condition no longer exists. Once driving
conditions are safe, pull over and let the vehicle idle. After approximately five min-
utes, the system will cool and return to normal operation.
- 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 nor-
mal, 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. You may want to call an authorized studio for service
if your vehicle overheats.

Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative(-)jumper cable from the engine ground(-)of the ve-
hicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end(-)of the jumper cable from the negative(-)post of
the booster battery.
3.Disconnect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable from the positive(+)
post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable from the positive(+)post of
the discharged vehicle.
• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle, you should have the bat-
tery and charging system inspected at your authorized studio.
CAUTION!
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw powerfrom the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suf-ficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with
a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter mo-
tor, alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging
system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or ex-
plode and cause personal injury.
•Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
•Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)
of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the bat-
tery to explode and could result in personal injury.
