This light tells you if there
could be a problem with
your engine oil pressure.
The light
goes on when you turn your key to RUN or
START.
It goes off once you start your engine. That’s a
check to be sure the light works. If it doesn’t come on,
be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if
something goes wrong.
When the light
comes on and stays on, it means that
oil isn’t flowing through your engine properly. You
could be low on oil and you might have some other
system problem.
A 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.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.
