For vehicles with this feature, the check gages light will come on if the system senses high engine temperature, and a low or high engine oil pressure. See Check Gages Warning Light for more information. If a high engine temperature is detected, or if a low or high engine oil pressure is detected, a tone alarm sounds. The alarm and the light remains on until the condition is fixed. If the engine temperature or oil pressure condition worsens, the tone alarm increases in frequency.

If the system senses there is low engine coolant, the alarm and the low coolant warning light comes on.

See Low Coolant Warning Light for more information.

The alarm means that your engine will shut down. See Engine Shutdown Warning Light for more information.

Pull off the road and shut off the engine. Do not start it until the vehicle is repaired. If the engine shuts down while you are still in traffic, the engine can be restarted for another 25-30 seconds of operation. In this condition, the engine speed remains at idle, and will not increase even if the accelerator pedal is pressed. The engine will not shut down until the vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

Notice: If you try to operate the vehicle after the engine automatically shuts down, you may damage the vehicle. Have the vehicle repaired as soon as possible.
