Oil Pressure Light

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.

This indicates that oil is not going through your engine
quickly enough to keep it lubricated. 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 the 
following situations:

D

The light will come on briefly when you turn on 
the ignition to show you that it is working properly.
(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.)

D

Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the
light may blink on and off. This is normal.

CAUTION:

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 is not covered by 
your warranty.
