Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
CAUTION
•
Continuing vehicle operation without proper
servicing of the engine control system could
lead
to poor driveability, reduced fuel
economy, and damage to the engine control
system, which may affect the vehicle’s war-
ranty coverage.
•
Incorrect setting of the engine control system
may lead to non-compliance of local and na-
tional emission laws and regulations.
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminates. After
starting the engine, the MIL turns off. This indicates
that the engine control system is operational.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the engine control system is not functioning
properly and may need servicing. Have the system
checked, and if necessary repaired, by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop promptly.
Precautions:
To reduce or avoid possible damage to the engine
control system when the MIL blinks:
•
Avoid driving at speeds above 70 km/h (43 MPH).
•
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
•
Avoid going up steep uphill grades.
•
Avoid carrying or towing unnecessary loads.
