Fuel pressure ?

[AdeOConnor]

Hi all
Warning message just popped today “engine started to maintain fuel system”
As soon as you turn on the ignition the engine fires up even though it’s warm and has plenty of EV charge. Also the blue “charge” light is on as if the charge button had been pressed but it hasn’t been.
I’m thinking fuel back pressure issue or similar?
Anyone had this before?
Cheers
Ade

This is done to prevent the fuel in your tank from becoming stale in time.

Thanks for that - will it go off after the tankful is used up. ?

There are quite a few threads on this. I think this was the most recent:

Thanks for the tip. Thinking about it the car probably hasn’t had a refill since the lockdown so I can see why it’s popped up.
