OIL
If
you have a problem with
your oil, this light may stay
on after you start your
engine, or come on when
you are driving.
A
warning
chime and the message
LOW
OIL
PRESSURE
may
also come on.
These indicate that oil is not going through your engine
quickly enough
to
keep
it
cool.
The
engine could be low
on
oil, or could have some other oil problem. Have it
fixed right away.
The
oil
light could also come on in three other
situations:
When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as a test to show you
it is
working, but the light will go out when you
turn
the
ignition to START.
If
it doesn't come on with the
ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.
Sometimes when the engine is idling
at
a
stop, me
light may blink
on
and off. This is normal.
If
you make a hard stop, the light may come on
for
a
moment. This is normal.
Don't keep driving if the oil pressure
is
low.
ir
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.
