Part: Warning light – error code

Video tutorial

What should you do if the engine warning light comes on? First, pay attention to the colour of the light; if it is yellow/orange and steady, the system has detected a problem. This is not an immediate emergency, but it needs to be checked.

Do not panic: drive to a garage and have the fault checked. If the light is flashing or red, the situation is different.

This indicates an emergency. It signifies a problem that could cause immediate and severe damage to the engine.

Therefore, stop as soon as possible, ensuring it is safe to do so; turn off the engine to avoid damage, and call a breakdown service to transport the car to a garage; continuing to drive is the worst choice.
