The indicator may come on along
with the glow plugs indicator if the
emissions control systems have
several problems.
This indicator comes on for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition
switch to ON (II). If it comes on at
any other time, or if you see the
symbol ‘‘
’’ or the symbol with
a ‘‘CHECK SYSTEM’’ message on
the multi-information display, it
indicates one of the engine’s
emissions control systems may have
a problem. Even though you may
feel no difference in your car’s
performance, it can reduce your fuel
economy and cause your car to put
out excessive emissions. Continued
operation may cause serious damage.
If this indicator comes on, safely pull
off the road and turn off the engine.
Restart and turn off the engine at
least three times at intervals of
approximately 30 seconds, then
watch the indicator. If it stays on,
have your car checked by your
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
comes on frequently, even though it
goes off when you follow the above
procedure.
If you keep driving with the
malfunction indicator lamp on, you
can damage your car’s emissions
controls and engine. Those repairs
may not be covered by your car’s
warranties.
This indicator will also come on and
you cannot restart the engine after
your car has run out of fuel. If this
occurs, refuel the fuel tank, then
follow the procedure for
on page
before
attempting to restart the engine.
