emissions. Diagnosis and
service may be required.
To help prevent damage,
reduce vehicle speed and

If fuel has been added to the
vehicle using the capless fuel
funnel adapter, make sure
that it has been removed.
See Filling the Tank with a
Portable Gas Can under
Filling the Tank 0 356. The
diagnostic system can
detect if the adapter has
been left installed in the
vehicle, allowing fuel to
evaporate into the
atmosphere. A few driving
trips with the adapter
removed may turn off the
light.
Poor fuel quality can cause
inefficient engine operation
and poor driveability, which
may go away once the
engine is warmed up. If this
occurs, change the fuel
brand. It may require at least
one full tank of the proper
fuel to turn the light off. See
Recommended Fuel (LSY
2.0L L4 Turbo Engine) 0 354
