Low Oil Pressure Indicator
This indicator should light when the
ignition is ON (II), and go out after
the engine starts. It should never
come on when the engine is running.
If it starts flashing, it indicates that
the oil pressure dropped very low for
a moment, then recovered. If the
indicator stays on with the engine
running, it shows that the engine has
lost oil pressure and serious engine
damage is possible. In either case,
you should take immediate action.
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 ear stopped.
1. Safely pull off the road and shut
off the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning indicators.
2. Let the car sit for a minute. Open
the engine compartment and
check the oil level (see page
118
).
Although oil level and oil pressure
are not directly connected, an
engine that is very low on oil can
lose pressure during cornering
and other driving manoeuvres.
3. If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page
160
).
4. Start the engine and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If the light
does not go out within ten seconds,
turn off the engine. There is a
mechanical problem that needs to
be repaired before you can
continue driving. (See
