8
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.
CAI JTTON:
Don’t keep driving if the oil ssure 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.
hOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.
