WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES - 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. - Airbag 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. SERVICE AWD SYSTEM Message • If the SERVICE AWD SYSTEM warning message appears after engine start up, or during driving, it means the AWD system is not functioning properly. We recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately. Oil Change Indicator Message • If an "oil change" message (shown as Oil Change Required) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change. Resetting The Light After Servicing • Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.) • Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds. • Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position. 58
