NOTE
l
Under conditions such as sporty
driving, the brake fluid in the tank
may move and the warning lamp
may come on temporarily. If the
warning lamp goes out after a
while, there is not a problem with
the brake system and the vehicle
can be driven normally.
Check engine warning lamp
E00502601029
This lamp is a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or Twin
Clutch SST control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates or flashes.
Although your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned "ON", and goes
off after the engine has started. If it does
not go off after the engine has started,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked.
CAUTION
l Prolonged driving with this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
CAUTION
l
If the lamp does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.
l If the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, avoid
driving at high speeds and we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.
Accelerator pedal and brake
pedal response may be negative-
ly influenced under these condi-
tions.
NOTE
l The engine electronic control mod-
ule accommodating the onboard di-
agnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust
emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a bat-
tery cable is disconnected which
will make a rapid diagnosis diffi-
cult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warn-
ing lamp is ON.
Charge warning lamp
E00502700456
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned "ON", and goes off af-
ter the engine has started.
A warning is also displayed on the multi-
information display.

CAUTION

If it illuminates while the en-
gine is running, there is a prob-
