Operation
If the control unit detects a fault with a major incidence on the emission level the exhaust emissions warning lamp will light up or start flashing.
The exhaust emissions warning lamp may either flash or remain lit. In any case the fault memory must be interrogated → Chap. 01-1.
t  Exhaust emissions warning lamp flashes: there is a fault on the vehicle that may damage the catalytic converter. Drive on under reduced engine power!
t  Exhaust emissions warning lamp lights up: there is a fault on the vehicle that no longer guarantees low exhaust gas emissions. Interrogate fault memory of the engine control unit or of the automatic gearbox control unit.
t  If there is incorrect driving behaviour, or if the customer complains and the exhaust emissions warning lamp is not lit, interrogate the fault memory, as a fault may have been stored that does not immediately cause the exhaust emission warning lamp to light up.
