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
).
Running the engine with low oil
pressure can cause serious
mechanical damage almost
immediately. Turn off the engine as
soon as you can safely get the
vehicle stopped.
Safely pull off the road, and shut
off the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning indicators.
Let the vehicle sit for a minute.
Open the bonnet, and check the oil
level (see page
). An engine
very low on oil can lose pressure
during cornering and other driving
manoeuvres.
If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page
on petrol
models, and page on diesel
models).
This indicator should come
on when the ignition switch
is in the ON (II) position, and go out
after the engine starts. It 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.
You will also see the symbol ‘‘ ,’’
or this symbol with an ‘‘OIL
PRESSURE LOW’’ message on the
multi-information display (see page
).
