very low on oil can lose pressure
during cornering and other driving

If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page ).
Start the engine, and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If it does not go
out within 10 seconds, turn of f the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired

indicator comes on brightly
when the engine is running, the
battery is not being charged.

the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
Go to a service station or garage
where you can get technical

come on when the engine is
running. If it starts f lashing or stays
