TEN | THROTTLE CONTROL / TRANSMISSION LAMP The Throttle Control/Transmission Lamp illuminates when a powertrain fault has been detected. Contact your dealer as soon as possible. THIRTEEN | MESSAGE CENTER (IF EQUIPPED) With the ignition in the ON position, the message center displays important vehicle information by constantly monitoring vehicle systems. You may select display features on the message center for a display of status preceded by a brief indicator chime. The system will also notify you of potential vehicle problems with a display of system warnings. For more detailed information, please consult your Owner's Guide. ELEVEN | ENGINE COOLANT LAMP Illuminates when the engine coolant is low. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and let the engine cool. TWELVE | ABS WARNING LAMP In an emergency, apply continuous force to the brake pedal. Do not pump the brakes. Any pulsation or mechanical noise you may feel or hear is normal. If the light stays on, have your vehicle serviced. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light is also illuminated. FOURTEEN | CHECK ENGINE LAMP The Check Engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check the bulb.
