Honda 2007 Civic Coupe, Owner'S Manual

Page: 468 / 509

Your vehicle has an engine oil level
sensor to check the oil level. If the
symbol ‘‘
’’ for the oil level
indicator comes on on the multi-
information display when the engine
is running, the engine oil level is low.
You will also hear a beep when this
symbol comes on. If you select the
warning symbol with the message(s)
in the customizing settings, you will
see this symbol with a ‘‘CHECK
ENGINE OIL LEVEL’’ message on
the multi-information display (see
page ). The oil level symbol/message
display can be reset each time you
turn off the engine. When you start
your trip again, the system begins to
monitor the engine oil level. It may
take a while until the system senses
the engine oil level is low and the
symbol, or the symbol with a
message appear on the multi-
information display. You should
check the engine oil level and add
engine oil before driving again if the
oil level symbol, or the symbol with a
‘‘CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL’’
message comes on.
If this symbol comes on, safely pull
off the road, park the vehicle on level
ground, turn off the engine and let
the vehicle sit for approximately 3
minutes.
Do not fill above the upper mark on
the dipstick and do not spill the
engine oil in the engine compartment.
This could damage the engine and
other components.
If you do not carry spare engine oil in
your vehicle, drive moderately to the
nearest service area and add engine
oil. Avoid full-throttle acceleration
and driving at high speed.
Check the oil level. If the engine oil
level is near or below the lower mark
on the dipstick, you should add the
engine oil (see page
on petrol
models, and page on diesel
models).
