Caution · drive with care

Do not assume this code is safe to drive. If it concerns the brakes, brake vacuum, charging/alternator, engine oil or coolant, have it diagnosed before driving. Airbags or seat belts may not work in a crash, and a brake or charging fault can leave the car unsafe or stranded. For convenience systems (windows, locks, climate), have it checked when convenient.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
