Malfunction indicator lamp

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.

1. If the lamp lights steady whilst driving, dealer advice should be sought without delay, and all unnecessary journeys avoided.
2. 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 MILmay cause overheat damage to the exhaust catalyst and increase toxic emissions.
