==================

Have you forgotten to tighten your gas cap properly, or 'topped up' your
tank when fuelling? The owner's manual says it will take a three drives
to switch the light off, if the cap was loose.

Check all your fluid levels, of course. Testing your dash lights would
be a good idea, too.

tank now and the engine light is still on.

lights are fine. I am taking it in first thing tomorrow morning. :(
