Instruments
Engine warning lamps
Malfunction indicator lamp
Powertrain warning lamp
All vehicles
If either lamp illuminates when the engine
is running, this indicates a fault. The
engine will continue to run but it may
have limited power. If it flashes when you
are driving,
reduce the speed of your
vehicle immediately . If it continues
to flash, avoid heavy acceleration or
deceleration. Have the system checked
by a properly trained technician
immediately.
WARNING
Have this checked immediately.
If
both
lamps illuminate together,
stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe
to do so (continued use may cause
reduced power and cause the engine to
stop). Turn the ignition off and attempt to
restart the engine. If the engine restarts
have the system checked by a properly
trained technician immediately. If the
engine does not restart the vehicle must
be checked before continuing your
journey.
