If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page ).
Let the vehicle sit for a minute.
Open the hood, and check the oil
level (see page ). An engine
very low on oil can lose pressure
during cornering and other driving
maneuvers.
Safely pull off the road, and shut
off the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning indicators.
This indicator should never
come on when the engine is
running. If it starts flashing
or stays on, the oil pressure has
dropped very low or lost pressure.
Serious engine damage is possible,
and you should take immediate
action.
Start the engine, and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If it does not go
out within 10 seconds, turn off the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired
before you can continue driving
(see
on page
).
The engine running generates the oil
pressure. When the Auto Idle Stop is
activated, the engine is stopped, the
oil pressure is dropped, and the low
oil pressure indicator does not come
on.
