CAUTION!
If the : indicator lamp lights up, the warning
symbol in the multi-function indicator appears
and the warning buzzer sounds, the operating
safety of the engine is endangered (possibility of
engine damage).
Safely pull off the road and turn off the engine (do
not restart the engine). Determine the cause of the
problem. If there are no obvious signs of leakage,
add engine oil. The engine oil level must be
between the lower and upper marks on the
dipstick. Only add engine oil up to the upper
mark – do not overfill.
If the engine oil level is above maximum, there is
a danger of damage to the engine or catalytic
converter.
