OIL
If
your vehicle has the
standard instrument panel
cluster, this light will
come on
if
there is a
problem with your vehicle’s
engine oil pressure.
If
your vehicle has the optional gage cluster, you can
read your oil pressure directly from the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Controls and
Displays on page
3-47.
The oil pressure light will come on briefly when you turn
your key to
RUN.
That’s just a check to be sure the
light works. This is normal and doesn’t show
a
problem.
If
it doesn’t come on and then go
off,
be sure to have
it fixed
so
it will be there to warn you
if
there is a
problem.
When this light
comes on and
stays
on, and
a
chime
sounds,
it
means
oil
isn’t going through the engine
properly. The oil could be
low,
or there might be some
other
oi’
roblem. See your dealer for service.
m-
Don’t keep arlvlng
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:
Damage to your engine from neglected
oil problems can be costly and
is
not covered
by your warranty.
