road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push, or the pedal may go closer to the ﬂoor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-27. {CAUTION: Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you have pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for service. 3-37 Antilock Brake System Warning Light For vehicles with the Antilock Brake System (ABS), this light comes on brieﬂy when the engine is started. That is normal. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off, if the light comes on when you are driving, stop as soon as it is safely possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the ABS light still stays on, or comes on again while you are driving, your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light is not on, your vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, your vehicle does not have antilock brakes and there is a problem with the regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-37. 3-38 For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 for all brake related DIC messages. Traction Control System (TCS)/ StabiliTrak® Warning Light The Traction Control System/StabiliTrak® warning light should come on brieﬂy when the engine is started. If the warning light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If it stays on, or comes on when you are driving, there may be a problem with your Traction Control System (TCS)/StabiliTrak® and your vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. If the traction control system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6 and StabiliTrak® System on page 4-8 for more information. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light Engine Coolant Temperature Gage This light will come on when you ﬁrst start the vehicle as a check to let you know that the light is working. It will go out after a few seconds. If the light does not come on, see your dealer/retailer. If the light does not go out or if the light comes on and stays on while you are driving, your vehicle may have a problem with the cooling system. You should stop the vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible to avoid damage to the engine. A warning chime will also sound when this light is on. See Engine Overheating on page 5-30 for more information. United States Canada This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the engine coolant overheats the engine coolant temperature warning light will come on. See Engine Overheating on page 5-30 and Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light on page 3-39 for more information. 3-39 Tire Pressure Light Your vehicle has a tire pressure light. This light comes on brieﬂy when the engine is started and provides information about tire pressures and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. When the Light is Solid This indicates that one or more of your tires are signiﬁcantly underinﬂated. A tire pressure message in the Driver Information Center (DIC), may accompany the light. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 for more information. Stop and check your tires as soon as it is safe to do so. If underinﬂated, inﬂate to the proper pressure. See Tires on page 5-59 for more information. When the Light Flashes First and Then is Solid This indicates that there may be a problem with the Tire Pressure Monitor System. The light ﬂashes for about a minute and stays on solid for the remainder of the ignition cycle. This sequence will repeat with every ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-70 for more information. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light A computer system called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It makes sure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. The check engine light comes on to indicate that there is an OBD II problem and service is required. 3-40 This light comes on, as a check to show it is working, when the ignition is turned ON/RUN but the engine is not running. If the light does not come on, have it repaired. This light also comes on during a malfunction in one of two ways: Light Flashing — A misﬁre condition has been detected. A misﬁre increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control system on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. Light On Steady — An emission control system malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. If you keep driving your vehicle with this Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. This can prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. Notice: light on, after a while, the emission controls might not work as well, your vehicle’s fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by your warranty. Notice: Modiﬁcations made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of your vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect your vehicle’s emission controls and can cause this light to come on. Modiﬁcations to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty. This could also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 5-3. 3-41 (cid:127) (cid:127) If the Light is Flashing The following can prevent more serious damage to your vehicle: (cid:127) Reduce vehicle speed. (cid:127) Avoid hard accelerations. (cid:127) Avoid steep uphill grades. If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible. If the light stops ﬂashing and remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light continues to ﬂash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle. Turn the ignition off, wait at least 10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the light remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light is still ﬂashing, follow the previous steps and see your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. If the Light Is On Steady You might be able to correct the emission system malfunction by considering the following: Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle? If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully install the cap. See Filling the Tank on page 5-8. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has 3-42 been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water? If so, your vehicle’s electrical system might be wet. The condition is usually corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. Have you recently changed brands of fuel? If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 5-5. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You might notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put the vehicle into gear, misﬁring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration — these conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. This will be detected by the system and cause the light to turn on. If you experience one or more of these conditions, change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. If none of the above steps have made the light turn off, your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. Your dealer/retailer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to ﬁx any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed. (cid:127) Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or might begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on or not working properly. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced the battery or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, your dealer/retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. Oil Pressure Light Your vehicle may have this feature. If the vehicle has an oil problem, this light may stay on after the engine is started, or come on while you are driving. This light indicates that oil is not going through the engine quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine could be low on oil or could have some other oil problem. Have it ﬁxed right away. 3-43 The oil light could also come on in the following situations: The light will come on brieﬂy when the ignition is turned on to show that it is working properly. If it does not come on with the ignition on, there may be a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it ﬁxed right away. (cid:127) Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, a chime will sound and the light may blink on and off. This is normal. {CAUTION: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. 3-44 Engine Oil Pressure Gage United States Canada Your vehicle may have an engine oil pressure gage. It shows the engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in kPa (kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil viscosity, but if readings are outside the normal operating range, the oil pressure light will come on. See Oil Pressure Light on page 3-43 for more information. (cid:127) A reading outside the normal operating range may be caused by a dangerously low oil level or some other problem causing low oil pressure. Check your oil as soon as possible. See Oil pressure Low Stop Engine under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 and Engine Oil on page 5-16. {CAUTION: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. Security Light For information regarding this light and the vehicle’s security system, see Theft-Deterrent System on page 2-27. Fog Lamp Light The fog lamp light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 3-18 for more information. 3-45 Lights On Reminder Highbeam On Light This light comes on whenever the parking lamps are on. This light comes on when the high-beam headlamps are in use. See Headlamps on Reminder on page 3-17 for more information. Cruise Control Light See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8 for more information. Fuel Gage This light comes on whenever you set the cruise control. The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. It works only when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position. The light goes out when the cruise control is turned off. See Cruise Control on page 3-13 for more information. 3-46 If the fuel supply gets low, the Fuel Level Low message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a single chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 for more information. Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage: (cid:127) At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly or accelerate quickly. It takes a little more or less fuel to ﬁll the tank than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated that the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to ﬁll the tank. Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display warning/status messages. All messages appear in the DIC display located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster. The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, next to the steering wheel. The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC displays the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. The top line of the DIC display shows the DIC information. The bottom line of the DIC display shows the compass. The compass displays in the trip/fuel menus and in some vehicle information menus. If a problem is detected, a warning message appears on the display. Take any message that appears on the display seriously and remember that clearing the message only makes the message disappear, and does not correct the problem. 3-47 (cid:127) (cid:127) DIC Operation and Displays The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different displays which can be accessed by pressing the DIC buttons located on the instrument panel, next to the steering wheel. 3 Trip/Fuel: Press this button to scroll through the trip and fuel displays. See “Trip/Fuel Display Menu Items” following for more information on these displays. T Vehicle Information: Press this button to scroll through the vehicle information displays. See “Vehicle Information Display Menu Items” following for more information on these displays. U Customization: Press this button to scroll through each of the customization features. See DIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-68 for more information on the customization features. 3-48 V Set/Reset: Press this button to reset certain DIC features and to acknowledge DIC warning messages and clear them from the DIC display. yz Menu Up/Down: Press this button to scroll up and down the menu items. Trip/Fuel Display Menu Items 3 (Trip/Fuel): The following display menu items can be displayed by pressing the trip/fuel button: Odometer This display shows the distance the vehicle has been driven in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Trip A or Trip B These displays show the current distance traveled since the last reset for each trip odometer in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Both odometers can be used at the same time. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by pressing and holding the set/reset button for a few seconds while the desired trip odometer is displayed. Fuel Range This display shows the approximate number of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you can drive without reﬁlling the fuel tank. This estimate is based on the current driving conditions and changes if the driving conditions change. For example, if you are driving in traffic and making frequent stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter the freeway, the number may change even though you still have the same amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. Once the range drops below about 30 miles (48 km) remaining, the display shows Low Range. If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low message displays. See “Fuel Level Low” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 for more information. AVG (Average) Economy This display shows the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this display was reset. To reset this display to zero, press the set/reset button. Timer This display can be used like a stopwatch. You can record the time it takes to travel from one point to another. To access the timer, press the trip/fuel button until Timer 00:00:00 displays. To turn on the timer, press the set/reset button until the timer starts. To turn off the timer, press the set/reset button again. The timer stops and displays the end timing value. To reset the timer to zero, press and hold the set/reset button after the timer has been stopped. Inst (Instantaneous) Economy This display shows the current fuel economy in either miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number reﬂects only the fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and changes frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike average economy, this display cannot be reset. AVG (Average) Speed This display shows the average speed of the vehicle in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). This average is calculated based on the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset of this display. To reset this display to zero, press the set/reset button. 3-49 Speedometer This display shows a digital speedometer in the DIC. The speed displays in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). To change the units from English to metric, see “Units” later in this section. Blank Display This display shows no information. Vehicle Information Display Menu Items T (Vehicle Information): The following display menu items can be displayed by pressing the vehicle information button: Oil Life Remaining If the vehicle has this display, it shows the estimated oil life remaining. If you see 99% Oil Life Remaining on the display, that means that 99% of the current oil life remains. When the oil life is depleted, the Change Engine Oil Soon message appears on the display. You should change the oil as soon as possible. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 and Engine Oil on page 5-16. 3-50 Remember, you must reset the Oil Life yourself after each oil change. It does not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the Oil Life accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system, See Engine Oil Life System on page 5-19. The display shows 100% when the system is reset. Units This display allows you to select between English or Metric units of measurement. Once in this display, press the set/reset button to select between English or Metric units. Parking Assist If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system, this display allows the system to be turned on or off. Once in this display, press the set/reset button to select between On or Off. If you choose On, the system turns on. If you choose Off, the system turns off. The URPA system automatically turns back on after each vehicle start. When the URPA system is turned off and the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P), the DIC displays the Parking Assist Off message as a reminder that the system has been turned off. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 and Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) on page 2-51 for more information. Tire Pressure The pressure for each tire can be viewed in the DIC. The tire pressure is shown in either pounds per square inch (psi) or kilopascals (kPa). Press the vehicle information button until the DIC displays Front Tire PSI (kPa) Left ## Right ##. Press the vehicle information button again until the DIC displays Rear Tire PSI (kPa) Left ## Right ## If a low or high tire pressure condition is detected by the system while driving, a message advising you to check the pressure in a speciﬁc tire appears in the display. See Inﬂation - Tire Pressure on page 5-67 and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 for more information. Battery Voltage This display shows the current battery voltage. Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage based on the state of the battery. The battery voltage may ﬂuctuate when viewing this information on the DIC. This is normal. If there is a problem with the battery charging system, the charging system light illuminates and/or the DIC displays a message. See Charging System Light on page 3-36, DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-54 and Electric Power Management on page 3-20 for more information. Calibrate Compass Your vehicle may have this feature. The compass can be manually calibrated. To calibrate the compass through the DIC, see DIC Compass on page 3-52. Change Compass Zone Your vehicle may have this feature. To change the compass zone through the DIC, see DIC Compass on page 3-52. Relearn Remote Key If your vehicle has the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system, this display allows you to match the transmitter to your vehicle. If your vehicle has the keyless access system, see Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-9 for instructions on matching a keyless access transmitter to your vehicle. To match an RKE transmitter to your vehicle: 1. Press the vehicle information button until Press V To Relearn Remote Key displays. 2. Press the set/reset button until Remote Key Learning Active is displayed. 3-51 3. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the ﬁrst transmitter at the same time for about 15 seconds.

To match additional transmitters at this time, repeat Step 3. Each vehicle can have a maximum of eight transmitters matched to it. 5. To exit the programming mode, you must cycle the key to LOCK/OFF. Blank Display This display shows no information. DIC Compass Your vehicle may have a compass in the Driver Information Center (DIC). Compass Zone The zone is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory. Your dealer/retailer will set the correct zone for your location. Under certain circumstances, such as during a long distance cross-country trip or moving to a new state or province, it will be necessary to compensate for compass variance by resetting the zone through the DIC if the zone is not set correctly. Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north. If the compass is not set to the zone where you live, the compass may give false readings. The compass must be set to the variance zone in which the vehicle is traveling. To adjust for compass variance, use the following procedure: Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure 1. Do not set the compass zone when the vehicle is moving. On an automatic transmission vehicle, only set it when the vehicle is in PARK (P). On a manual transmission vehicle, only set it when the vehicle is stopped. Press the vehicle information button until Press V To Change Compass Zone displays. 3-52 Compass Calibration The compass can be manually calibrated. Only calibrate the compass in a magnetically clean and safe location, such as an open parking lot, where driving the vehicle in circles is not a danger. It is suggested to calibrate away from tall buildings, utility wires, manhole covers, or other industrial structures, if possible. If CAL should ever appear in the DIC display, the compass should be calibrated. If the DIC display does not show a heading, for example, N for North, or the heading does not change after making turns, there may be a strong magnetic ﬁeld interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by a magnetic CB or cell phone antenna mount, a magnetic emergency light, magnetic note pad holder, or any other magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle, move the magnetic item, then turn on the vehicle and calibrate the compass. 3-53 2. Find the vehicle’s current location and variance zone number on the map. Zones 1 through 15 are available. 3. Press the set/reset button to scroll through and select the appropriate variance zone. 4. Press the trip/fuel button until the vehicle heading, for example, N for North, is displayed in the DIC. 5. Calibrate the compass. See “Compass Calibration Procedure” following. To calibrate the compass, use the following procedure: Compass Calibration Procedure 1. Before calibrating the compass, make sure the compass zone is set to the variance zone in which the vehicle is located. See “Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure” earlier in this section. Do not operate any switches such as window, sunroof, climate controls, seats, etc. during the calibration procedure. 2. Press the vehicle information button until Press V To Calibrate Compass displays. 3. Press the set/reset button to start the compass calibration. 4. The DIC will display Calibrating Drive In Circles. Drive the vehicle in tight circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h) to complete the calibration. The DIC will display Calibration Complete for a few seconds when the calibration is complete. The DIC display will then return to Press V To Calibrate Compass. DIC Warnings and Messages Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the driver that the status of the vehicle has changed and that some action may be needed by the driver to correct the condition. Multiple messages may appear one after another. Some messages may not require immediate action, but you can press any of the DIC buttons on the instrument panel to acknowledge that you received the messages and to clear them from the display. Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC display because they are more urgent. These messages require action before they can be cleared. You should take any messages that appear on the display seriously and remember that clearing the messages will only make the messages disappear, not correct the problem. The following are the possible messages that can be displayed and some information about them. Accessory Mode Active If your vehicle has the keyless access system, this message displays when the accessory mode is active. See Ignition Positions (Key Access) on page 2-31 or Ignition Positions (Keyless Access) on page 2-33 for more information. 3-54 AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting) Lamps Need Service This message displays when the Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) system is disabled and needs service.

See Tire Pressure Light on page 3-40. Cruise Set To XXX MPH (km/h) This message displays whenever the cruise control is set. See Cruise Control on page 3-13 for more information. Driver Door Open This message displays when the driver door is not closed completely. Make sure that the door is closed completely. Electronic Key Already Known If your vehicle has the keyless access system, this message displays if you try to match a transmitter that has already been learned. See Keyless Access System Operation on page 2-9 for more information. 3-57 Electronic Key Not Detected If your vehicle has the keyless access system, this message displays if the vehicle does not detect the presence of a transmitter when you have attempted to start the vehicle or a vehicle door has just closed. The following conditions may cause this message to appear: (cid:127) Driver-added equipment plugged into the accessory power outlet on the center console is causing interference. Examples of these devices are cell phones and cell phone chargers, two-way radios, power inverters, or similar items. Try moving the keyless access transmitter away from these devices when starting the vehicle. In addition, PDA devices and remote garage and gate openers may also generate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) that may interfere with the keyless access transmitter. Do not carry the keyless access transmitter in the same pocket or bag as these devices. The vehicle is experiencing Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Some locations, such as airports, automatic toll booths, and some gas stations have EMI ﬁelds which may interfere with the keyless access transmitter. If moving the transmitter to different locations within the vehicle does not help, place the transmitter in the center console transmitter pocket with the buttons facing to the right and then press the START button. The vehicle’s battery voltage is low. The battery voltage must be above 10 volts for the keyless access transmitter to be detected properly. 3-58 (cid:127) (cid:127) Electronic Key Not Detected Restart Allowed If your vehicle has the keyless access system, this message displays when the keyless access transmitter is not detected inside the vehicle while you are trying to turn the ignition off. Your vehicle may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing the keyless access system to be jammed. The vehicle will remain in ACC/ACCESSORY until the vehicle is turned off or is started, or ﬁve minutes has expired. If you turn the ignition off and you cannot ﬁnd the keyless access transmitter, you will not be able to restart the vehicle. The keyless access transmitter needs to be inside of the vehicle in order for the vehicle to start. See Starting the Engine on page 2-34 for more information. Engine Hot A/C (Air Conditioning) Off This message displays when the engine coolant becomes hotter than the normal operating temperature. See Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on page 3-39. To avoid added strain on a hot engine, the air conditioning compressor automatically turns off. When the coolant temperature returns to normal, the air conditioning compressor turns back on. You can continue to drive your vehicle. If this message continues to appear, have the system repaired by your dealer/retailer as soon as possible to avoid damage to the engine. Engine Oil Low Add Oil If your vehicle has an oil level sensor, this message displays if the oil level in the vehicle is low. Check the oil level and correct it as necessary. You may need to let the vehicle cool or warm up and cycle the ignition to be sure this message clears. This message clears itself after 10 seconds, until the next ignition cycle. See Engine Oil on page 5-16 for additional information. Engine Overheated Idle Engine Notice: overheating, severe engine damage may occur.
