Hello,

I am a new owner of this wonderful car but it is quite sophisticated and I'm trying to learn the systems. I took it in to check smog check and the shop said they needed to see a "check engine" light. I showed him the exclamation light that I thought would work but is there a "check engine" specific light so I can show him the light is there? Strange question, I just couldn't find anything about this in the manual. The car was purchased out of state and I live in California so need to have this smog check to be able to register it to me.

Thank you

Does he want to see the check engine light illuminated to assure it hasn't been disconnected or tampered with?
The light, with the outline of an engine and in the US the word check under it ( Canada doesn't have "check") is located, along with other warning and indicator lights, below the speedometer. I am not sure, but you might get it and others to light by pushing the start button a few times without depressing the brake pedal. The engine will not start. The manual calls it a malfunction indicator light. Too cold to go outside to try on my car.

I vote for another shop.

Great, thank you! That solved the problem and I'm now happily smog certified.
