REDUCED ENGINE POWER: You will hear chimes continuously when this message is displayed. To acknowledge that you have read the message and to remove it from the display, press RESET. The message will reappear every 15 seconds until this condition changes. If the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays the REDUCED ENGINE POWER message and the CHECK ENGINE light comes on, a noticeable reduction in the vehicle's performance may occur. If the REDUCED ENGINE POWER message is displayed but there is no reduction in performance, proceed to your destination. The performance may be reduced the next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle may be driven at a reduced speed while the REDUCED ENGINE POWER message is displayed, but acceleration and speed may be reduced. Anytime the CHECK ENGINE light stays on, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair. Also, refer to Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-41. If the REDUCED ENGINE POWER message is displayed in combination with the COOLANT OVER TEMP message, see Engine Overheating on page 5-26. REDUCE ENGINE RPM: You will hear four chimes when this message is displayed. To acknowledge the warning, press the RESET button. After you press the RESET button, a message will be displayed and you will hear a chime every minute until this condition changes. If you do not press RESET, the message will remain on the digital display until the condition changes. If the engine oil temperature exceeds 320°F (160°C), this message is displayed. You should check the engine coolant temperature and engine oil level. If your engine is too hot, see Engine Overheating on page 5-26. Your vehicle may need service, so see your dealer. You can monitor the oil temperature with the GAGES button on the DIC. SERVICE ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System): If the SERVICE ABS message is displayed when you are driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the message stays on, or comes back on again while you are driving, your vehicle is in need of service. If the regular brake system warning light is not on, you still have brakes, but do not have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes and there is a problem with your brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-38. 3-64
