Caution · drive with care

Have it diagnosed promptly. If the car runs and drives normally, drive gently to a workshop. If it runs badly, stalls, overheats, loses oil pressure, or a warning light is flashing or red, stop safely and get professional help. If the code concerns the brakes, brake vacuum or brake assist, do not drive until it is checked: a hard pedal or longer stopping distance means stop.
