1. After starting the engine, allow it to idle
for 3 minutes to warm up. Failure to do
so will shorten engine life.
2. Be sure the low oil pressure-alert indica-
tor goes off after starting the engine.
NOTICE: If the low oil pressure-alert
indicator blinks after the engine
starts, stop the engine. Otherwise,
serious engine damage could occur.
Check the oil level and add engine oil
if necessary. Consult your Hidea
dealer if the cause for the low oil
pressure alert cannot be found.
