5. Seat Belt Reminder Light
This light comes on for several seconds after the
ignition is turned ON as a reminder to “buckle
up.” This light will remain on as long as the driver
or passengers seat belt remains unbuckled. If the seat belt
indicator remains on and/or flashes with belts buckled,
this may indicate a fault in the seat belt reminder system.
Have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
6. Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condi-
tion. For a bulb check, this light will come on
momentarily when the ignition is turned On. If the
light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle, shift into N
(Neutral) and increase the engine speed for 2 to 3
minutes. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, seek authorized service immediately.
As temperatures rise and the gauge approaches ЉHЉ, this
indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound
after reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will
cause the temperature gauge to pass ЉHЉ, 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.
