WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES - Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator Light • This light informs you of a problem with the 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 dealer 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 dealer 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. - Sport Shifting • This light will illuminate when SPORT mode is selected. This mode provides performance based transmission shifting depending on the driver requested throttle position. Sport Suspension Indicator • The light will illuminate when Sport or Track mode is selected. This mode provides performance based tuning with improved handling through an electronic controlled damping system. Oil Change Indicator Message • If an "oil change due" message (shown as Oil Change Due) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change. Resetting The Light After Servicing Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™ • 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, slowly, 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. 80
