(D Tips
- The engine oil pressure symbol . is
not an indicator for a low engine oil lev-
el. Do not rely on it. Instead, check the
oil level in your engine at regular inter·
vals, preferably each time you refuel,
and always before going on a long trip.

Ill requires oil refill or workshop serv-
ice without delay. Do not wait until the
red oil pressure warning . starts to
flash before you respond to the low oil
level warning II. By then, your engine
may already have suffered serious dam-
age.
