Why did the yellow engine malfunction light come on in the Smart ForTwo?
Years 1998-2007

Answer

If the yellow engine malfunction light has turned on in our Smart ForTwo, it means that a malfunction has been detected in the fuel system, exhaust system or the engine itself. However, this is a generic warning and may be accompanied by various abnormal behaviors of the vehicle, such as frequent shutdowns, limited speed or abnormal fuel consumption. In these cases, we should take the vehicle to the workshop as soon as possible.
