Engine Cooling System Messages
ENGINE HOT A/C (AIR CONDITIONING) OFF
This message displays when the engine coolant becomes hotter than the normal operating temperature.

You can continue to drive the vehicle.
If this message continues to appear, have the system repaired by your dealer as soon as possible to avoid damage to the engine.
