Engine Oil Level Warning Light
CHECK
OIL
When the
CHECK
OIL
warning light comes on, it
indicates that the engine oil
level is
1
to
1
1/2
quarts
(0.95
L to 1.4 L) low.
A warning chime may also sound. The warning light
will come on for two to four seconds when the ignition
is turned on, as a bulb check to show
you
it
is working.
If
it
doesn’t come on, have
it
fixed right away. It will
then go
off.
Even if you have a low oil level,
it
will go
off
for
15
to
25
seconds. Then, if the oil level is
low,
the
warning light will turn on for about one minute and a
warning chime may sound. If the oil level is okay, the
warning light will remain
off.
If
the warning light comes on after the 15 to 25 second
delay, check the dipstick level.
If
it reads low, the engine
oil should be brought up to the proper level (see “Engine
Oil”
in
the Index). The warning light or message will
remain off after the engine oil has been brought to the
proper level and the ignition has been
off
for eight
minutes. The eight-minute delay allows the majority of
the oil to drain back into the oil pan to prevent a false
low condition.
Low Washer Fluid Warning Light
(If
Equipped)
LOW
WASH
The LOW WASH warning
light will come on when the
ignition is on and the fluid
container is less than
one-third
full.
A warning chime may
also sound.
