Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the warning lamp do not disap- pear, or if they come on again when the vehi-cle is driven, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
