When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated

WARNINGS

Fail-safe mode is for use during

emergencies only. Operate the

vehicle in fail-safe mode only as long

as necessary to bring the vehicle to rest in

a safe location and seek immediate repairs.

When in fail-safe mode, the vehicle will

have limited power, will not be able to

maintain high-speed operation, and may

completely shut down without warning,

potentially losing engine power, power

steering assist, and power brake assist,

which may increase the possibility of a

crash resulting in serious injury.

Never remove the coolant reservoir

cap while the engine is running or hot.

You have limited engine power when in the

fail-safe mode, so drive the vehicle with

caution. The vehicle will not be able to

maintain high-speed operation and the

engine will run rough. Remember that the

engine is capable of completely shutting

down automatically to prevent engine

damage, therefore:

1. Pull off the road as soon as safely

possible and turn off the engine.

2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to

an authorized dealer.

3. If this is not possible, wait a short

period for the engine to cool.

4. Check the coolant level and replenish

if low.

5. Re-start the engine and take your

vehicle to an authorized dealer.

Note: Driving the vehicle without repairing

the engine problem increases the chance of

engine damage. Take your vehicle to an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

FLUID CHECK

Note: Transmission fluid should be checked

by an authorized dealer. If required, fluid

should be added by an authorized dealer.

The automatic transmission does not have

a transmission fluid dipstick.

Have an authorized dealer check and

change the transmission fluid and filter at

the correct service interval. See

Scheduled Maintenance (page 404). Your

transmission does not consume fluid.

However, the fluid level should be checked

if the transmission is not working properly,

(i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts

slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid

leakage.

Do not use supplemental transmission

fluid additives, treatments or cleaning

agents. The use of these materials may

affect transmission operation and result

in damage to internal transmission

components.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK

Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX

lines are within the normal operating range;

there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid

levels are outside of the normal operating

range, the performance of the system

could be compromised; seek service from

your authorized dealer immediately.

POWER STEERING FLUID

CHECK

Your vehicle is equipped with an electric

power steering (EPS) system. There is no

fluid reservoir to check or fill.
