The '''Malfunction Indicator Lamp''' (MIL) is provides to warn the driver that the engine management system has detected a fault which may result in increased toxic emissions from the exhaust. #If the lamp lights steady whilst driving, dealer advice should be sought without delay, and all unnecessary journeys avoided. #If the lamp flashes, an engine misfire has been detected which is sufficiently severe to cause overheat damage to the [[catalytic converter]]. Slow down immediately and be prepared to stop. #*If the '''MIL''' then stops flashing, and is lit steady, proceed with caution and seek dealer advice. #*If the '''MIL''' continues to flash, stop the engine and seek dealer advice. Continuing to drive the car with a flashing '''MIL'''may cause overheat damage to the [[catalytic converter|exhaust catalyst]] and increase toxic emissions.
