noticeable. Being aware of the light
and seeking service promptly when
it comes on may prevent damage.

control system may not work as
well, the fuel economy may be

run smoothly. This could lead to
costly repairs that might not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.

transmission, exhaust, intake,
or fuel system, or the use of
replacement tires that do not
meet the original tire
specifications, can cause this light

vehicle warranty. This could also
affect the vehicle’s ability to pass
an Emissions Inspection/
Maintenance test. See
