Don’t keep driving 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

warranty.
LOW
OIL
Your engine is equipped with
an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key is turned
on,
the
LOW
OIL
light will come on
briefly.
If
the light does not
come on briefly, have it fixed
so
it will be ready to warn
you if there’s a problem.
If
the
light stays
on,
stop the vehicle
on
a level surface
and turn the engine off. Check the oil level using the
engine oil dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index.) If
the light does not flash, have the low oil level sensor
system repaired
so
it will be ready to warn you
if
there’s
a problem.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key
on
and engine
crank.
It
does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check
is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for a
considerable period of time, allowing the oil normally in
circulation
to
drain back into the oil pan.
