TABLE OF CONTENTS

- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while
driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A
chime will sound for four minutes when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will
occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
we recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control
(ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is
running. Cycle the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and
the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be
drivable; however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the
light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required
and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or
engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
- Air Bag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
4WD!- 4WD System Fault Indicator Light
• When lit solid: There is a 4WD system fault. The 4WD performance will
be at a reduced level. We recommend you do not operate the vehicle.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
• When blinking: The 4WD system is temporarily disabled due to overload
condition.
- Transmission Temperature Warning Light
• This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature
that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light
turns on, you will experience reduced vehicle performance until the
automatic transmission cools down. If the overheating continues, stop
the vehicle and run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL,
until the light turns off. Once the light turns off, you may continue to
drive normally.
