Oil warning indicator
If the oil remaining in the tank drops to
about 1.4 L (0.37 US gal, 0.31 Imp gal) or
the oil filter is clogged, the lowest oil level
segment, the oil warning indicator, “OIL” and
the warning light begin to blink. The buzzer
also starts sounding intermittently.
If the oil warning indicator begins to blink,
refill with engine oil as soon as possible.
NOTE:
If the warning indicator blinks with adequate
oil in the tank, check the oil filter for clog-
ging.
