2001 MY RX300_U (OM48431U)
(f) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are driving, pull off the road
to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Lexus
dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or
it may come on briefly after a hard stop. There is no cause for
concern if it then goes out when the engine is accelerated
slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level is extremely low. It
is not designed to indicate low oil level, and the oil level must
be checked using the oil level dipstick.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the warning light on – even
for one block. It may ruin the engine.
(g) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on in the following cases.
a. The fuel tank is completely empty. (See “Fuel gauge” on
page 38 for instructions.)
b. The fuel tank cap is not tightened securely. (See “Fuel tank
cap” on page 73 for instructions.)
c. There is a problem somewhere in your engine or automatic
transmission electrical system.
If it comes on while you are driving in case “c.”, have your
vehicle checked/repaired by your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible.
