What to do when my Vauxhall Crossland's engine light turns on?

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Crossland and noticed that the engine light has turned on. Can anyone advise on what steps I should take to get it fixed?

It's always recommended to check your vehicle's user manual first to see if the engine light is indicating a serious issue or just a minor issue. In any case, it's important to get it checked out by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.

If the engine light is flashing, it's a sign of a serious issue and you should stop driving immediately and call for roadside assistance. Otherwise, you can continue driving but do get it checked out soon to avoid any potential long-term damage.

Sometimes, the engine light can come on if there's an issue with the gas cap not being tightly closed. Check and make sure it's closed properly before seeking further assistance.
