This light will remain on as long as the seat belt remains unbuckled. If this light flashes, it indicates a fault in the airbag system. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 6. Coolant Temperature Warning Light This light warns of an overheated engine condition. For a bulb check, this light will come on momentarily when the ignition is turned On.

If the temperature reading does not return to normal, seek authorized service immediately. As temperatures rise and the gauge approaches H , this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound after reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge to pass H , the indicator will continuously flash, and a continuous chime will occur until the engine is allowed to cool. CAUTION! Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature light is on, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle in neutral with the air conditioner turned off until the light turns off. If the if the light remains on, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service. 4
