This indicator comes on for a few
seconds (several seconds in cold
weather or at high altitudes) when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. If it blinks while the
engine is running, there is a problem
with the engine control system.
Continued operation may cause
serious damage.
If this indicator blinks, 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 starts to
blink again, 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
blinks frequently, even though it
goes off when you follow the above
procedure.
If you keep driving with the glow
plugs indicator blinking, you can
damage your vehicle’s emissions
controls and engine. Those repairs
may not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranties.
The indicator may blinks along with
the malfunction indicator lamp if the
emissions control systems have
several problems.
This indicator will also blink 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.
This indicator may also blink if you
do not use the proper fuel for the
climate or regional condition. This
may cause the engine power to
reduce (see page
). 346
