cle's emissions.

the vehicle checked as soon as pos‐
sible.▷The warning lamp flashes under certain cir‐
cumstances:
This indicates that there is excessive misfir‐
ing in the engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have the sys‐
tem checked immediately; otherwise, seri‐
ous engine misfiring within a brief period
can seriously damage emission controlcomponents, in particular the catalytic con‐
verter.Seite 198MOBILITYMaintenance198
