    Does the car start? Can you read the charge on the battery? Sounds like it might be low.

    "EML" is an acronym for "Elektronische Motorleistungsregelung". Loosely translated from the original German it means Electrionic Engine Power Control.

    Chances are that the voltage is low. Check that it is 12V or more at the battery. If not either charge it more to see if comes up or replace. Being an 07 I'd opt to replace the battery.

    Others have said EML = Extra Money Light
