Notes:  
 
The malfunction "P0300 / 16684" is set as soon as combustion misfiring has been recognized in more than one cylinder.
 If there is combustion misfiring with low misfiring rate, the MIL is only set after two successive trips without preceding cold 
start and the malfunction occurring. 
 Combustion misfiring with high misfiring rate is displayed immediately by the MIL blinking, since the Three Way Catalytic 
Converter (TWC) can be damaged. In this case, driving should be continued with reduced power and the malfunction 
should be repaired as quickly as possible.
