WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • 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. - SERV (Service) 4WD Indicator Light • If the light stays on or comes on during driving, it means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly and that service is required. We recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately. - Transmission Temperature Warning Light • This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light turns off. Once the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally. Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message • If a "gas cap" message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas cap until a "clicking" sound is heard. • Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off. • If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, see your authorized service center. Oil Change Indicator Message • If an "oil change" message (shown as CHAngE OIL) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change. Resetting The Light After Servicing • Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine). • Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds. • Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position. IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS • In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action. • On the highways - slow down. • In city traffic - while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed. 55
