Just wondering if anyone could help and assist with some information please.
I went on a 90 mile journey on Sunday and arrived at destination. Went to restart car but wouldn`t start. The ignition was on but it was displaying a HDC malfunction in the information display, the temperature gauge went to the top of the gauge and a warning light displayed ( two photos attached ).
Having recently fitted a new battery I opened the bonnect to check connections, all ok. Removed the key from ignition, waited a couple of minutes before refitting and attempting to start. Same thing happened as previously.
Checked the internet ( in the absence of a Haynes manual ) on mobile phone for information. Placed key in ignition, pressed HDC button before attempting a restart. The car started although the warning light remained illuminated. Decided to drive a short distance around the car park before stwitching off. Attempted a restart.....no problems. Car started first time with no warning light and no error messages in the display panel regarding HDC malfunction.
In the four years I have owned the vehicle this is the first time this has happened. Both my wife and I are adamant we never touched the HDC button before exiting the car upon arrival or on initail restart. In fact the HDC button has never been used during my ownership.
Sorry for essay but my query is.....Does the HDC button illuminate when pressed ( mine didn`t )?
Many thanks
