CEL at 41km

I've seen alot of postings about CEL's ... just curious if this is the same problem.

Just pulled out of the dealer lot, took it for a round-the-block spin. I decided to head up a steep incline 200m incline, on 3rd gear, 5000rpm, and BAM CEL light comes on.

Leveled off the top, downshifted to 2nd.. and after 15 secs it disappeared. Is this normal behavior, or should I be worrying already!?

So I read the manual, and it states I should take it into the dealer (but only if the CEL stays on permanently). Is that correct?

Thanks everyone.

As the title states, it happens at a whopping 41 km. That's ~25 miles for you US folk.

What the hell.. how did it end up in the vendor forum? Sorry, I'm reposting this to the general discussion.
