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 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 vehicle 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 vehicle 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 vehicle’s emissions
controls and engine. Those repairs
may not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranties.
This indicator comes on,
then goes out when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. If it comes on at any
other time, it indicates one of the
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 your vehicle to
put out excessive emissions.
Continued operation may cause
serious damage.
This indicator will also come on and
you cannot restart the engine after
your vehicle 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.
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.
