check engine lite - meaning u need to check ur engine.

I had that when i over-rev my car on 4th gear ..
No response from the throttle after that.
Need to switch off my engine - and restart.

Suggest u send your car for inspection - just to be sure ...

This problem can be a fault reading in your catalytic converter. It's mentioned in your manual that when this warning light comes up, higher engine speeds may not be possible. The manual also advises that you take the car into the SC asap.

Do let us know the outcome. This could happen to a whole bunch of us.

Engine malfunction. Might only be your emissions, but might be something else too. Best to take it in to see what's causing it.

Extract the OBD fault code and take it from there..
