Malfunction Indicator Lamp/Check Engine Light
If this indicator comes on while
driving, there is a problem with
your engine or its emission control
systems. Even though you may feel
no difference in your car's per-
formance, it can reduce your fuel
economy and cause your car to put
out excessive emissions. Continued
operation may cause serious engine
damage.
If this indicator light comes on,
safely pull off the road and turn off
the engine. Restart the engine and
watch the indicator light. If it stays
on, have your car 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.
You should also have the dealer
inspect your car if the indicator
light comes on frequently, even
though it goes off when you follow
the above procedure.
If you keep driving with the
malfunction indicator lamp/check
engine light on, you can damage
your car's emission controls and
engine. Those repairs may not be
covered by your car's warranties.
