Oil Pressure Light
If you have a low engine
oil pressure problem,
this light will stay on after
you start your engine, or
come on when you are
driving. This indicates
that your engine is not
receiving enough oil.
The engine could be low on oil, or could have
some other oil problem. Have it fixed immediately.
The oil light could also come on in three other
situations:
•
When the ignition is on but the engine is not
running, the light will come on as a test to
show you it is working, but the light will go out
when you turn the ignition to START. If it
doesn’t come on with the ignition on, you may
have a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have
it fixed right away.
•
If the vehicle is idling at a stop sign, the light
may blink on and then off.
•
If you make a hard stop, the light may come
on for a moment. This is normal.
{
CAUTION:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is
low. If you do, your engine can become so
hot that it catches fire. You or others
could be burned. Check your oil as soon
as possible and have your vehicle
serviced.
Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
changing engine oil.
