Honda Cr-v 2007, Owner'S Manual

Page: 509 / 552

Your vehicle has an oil level
indicator on the instrument
panel. If this indicator comes on
amber when the engine is running,
the engine oil level is low. Safely pull
off the road, park the vehicle on level
ground, turn off the engine and let
the vehicle sit for approximately 3
minutes.
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.
The oil level indicator 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 indicator comes on
amber. You should check the engine
oil level and add engine oil before
driving again if the oil level indicator
comes on.
If you ignore the oil level indicator
and keep driving with this indicator
on, you can seriously damage the
engine.
If the amber indicator blinks while
driving, there is a system problem in
the engine oil level sensor. Have
your dealer inspect your vehicle as
soon as possible.
This system activates after the
engine warms up. If the outside
temperature is extremely low, you
may have to drive for a long time
until the system senses the engine
oil level.
Check the oil level (see page ). 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).
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.
