Instruments and controls
Check engine warning lamp
E00502601104
This lamp is a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or A/T con-
trol system/CVT control system/Twin
Clutch SST control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates or flashes.
Although your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned "ON", and goes
off after the engine has started. If it does
not go off after the engine has started,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked.
CAUTION
l
Prolonged driving with this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
l
If the lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.
