ment panel shows the direction indicated

but does not blink or blinks more rapidly
than normal or does not illuminate at all,
it indicates a malfunction in the turn sig-

If the oil pressure warning light
stays on while the engine is run-ning, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning
light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. In normaloperation, it should come on when the ignition switch is turned on,
then go out when the engine is started. If the oil pressure warninglight stays on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunc-

If this happens, stop the car assoon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine and check the oil level. If
the oil level is low, fill the engine oil to the proper level and start theengine again. If the light stays on with the engine running, turn the
engine off immediately. In anyinstance where the oil light stays onwhen the engine is running, the engine should be checked by an
