Enhanced Traction System Active Light Engine Coolant Temperature Gage United States Canada United States Canada When your Enhanced Traction System is limiting wheel spin, this light will come on. Slippery road conditions may exist if the Enhanced Traction System active light comes on, so adjust your driving accordingly. This light may also come on when the anti-lock brake system is active. The light will stay on for a few seconds after the Enhanced Traction System stops limiting wheel spin. The Enhanced Traction System active light also comes on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you when the system is active. Your vehicle is equipped with one of these gages. With the ignition in RUN, this gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the red area, your engine is too hot! It means that your engine coolant has overheated. The CHECK GAGES light should come on if this condition exists. See Check Gages Warning Light on page 3-35 for more information. If you have been operating your vehicle under normal conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 5-24. 3-29
