3Can I drive?
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.
