Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Honda 2011 Ridgeline Owner's Manual

If this indicator comes on
while driving, it means one
of the engine's emissions control
systems may have a problem. Even
though you may feel no difference in
your vehicle's performance, it can
reduce your fuel economy and cause
increased emissions. Continued
operation may cause serious damage.
If you have recently refueled your
vehicle, the indicator coming on
could be due to a loose or missing
fuel fill cap. Tighten the cap until it
clicks at least once. Tightening the
cap will not turn the indicator off
immediately; it can take several days
of normal driving.
On models without navigation system
You will also see a ''CHECK FUEL
CAP'' message on the information
display.
On models with navigation system
You will also see a ''TIGHTEN FUEL
CAP'' message on the multi-
information display.
