INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 2–13
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will
illuminate if a fault exists in the emission re-
lated components or related sub systems.
It will stay on as long as the Engine Control
Module (ECM) detects the fault. If a severe
misfire level is detected, the MIL will blink
continuously. Severe misfire can cause
catalytic converter damage.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will
also illuminate to indicate that there is a
malfunction in the Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF). If this happens, you should consult a
workshop to repair the problem immediately.
We recommend your authorised Chevrolet
repairer. See "DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF)" in the index for more information.
Your vehicle's electronic system will switch to
an emergency running programme so you may
continue to drive. However, you should con-
sult a workshop to repair the problem as soon
as possible. We recommend your authorised
Chevrolet repairer.
