You will also see the symbol ‘‘
,’’
or this symbol with a ‘‘CHECK
SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-
information display (see page
).
If this indicator comes on, safely pull
off the road and turn off the engine.
Restart the engine and watch the
indicator. If it stays on, have your
vehicle checked by the dealer as
soon as possible. Drive moderately
until the dealer has inspected the
problem. Avoid full-throttle
acceleration and driving at high
speed.
If you keep driving with the
malfunction indicator lamp on, you
can damage your vehicle’s emissions
controls and engine. Those repairs
may not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranties.
You should also have the dealer
inspect your vehicle if the indicator
comes on frequently, even though it
goes off when you follow the above
procedure.
This indicator comes on,
then goes out when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. If the indicator comes
on while driving, it means one of the
engine’s emissions control systems
may have a problem. Even though
you may feel no difference in your
vehicle’s performance, it can reduce
your fuel economy and cause
increased emissions. Continued
operation may cause serious damage.
If you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position, without starting the
engine, the malfunction indicator
lamp will come on for about 20
seconds. It then goes off or blinks 5
times under various conditions. This
is normal: it shows the self-testing
condition of the diagnostics for the
emissions control systems.
