Malfunction Indicator Lamp
Check Engine Light
This light comes on for a couple of seconds each time the ignition is
turned on. It will also come on, and remain on, if there is a
malfunction in the emission control system. If the light comes on
while driving, avoid driving at high speed, and have the system
checked by a Honda dealer as soon as possible.
Low Oil Pressure Light
A severe fluctuation in engine oil pressure will cause this light to
flash on and off. You should pull safely off the road and stop the car.
When the engine has cooled down, check the oil level, and add oil if
necessary.
The low oil pressure light will come on, and remain on, if there is
insufficient oil pressure or when the ignition switch is turned on
with the engine not running. If the light should come on while driving,
get the car off the road as soon as you can, turn the engine off and
check the engine oil level (see page
117
).
Even if the oil level is correct, the engine should be checked by a
Honda dealer before the car is driven again.
NOTE:
The low oil pressure light will only light as a result of low oil pressure.
It is not directly an oil level indicator.
CAUTION:
Running the engine while the low oil pressure light is on constantly
may cause immediate and severe engine damage.
