If you keep driving your vehicle with this light

This could lead to costly repairs that may not be
covered by your warranty.
This light should come on, as a check to show you it is
working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not
running.
If the light doesn’t come on, have it repaired.
This light will also come on during a malfunction in one
of two ways:

Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and service may be required.

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.
/!1 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.
