A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by
a dangerously low oil level or some other problem
causing low oil pressure. Check the oil as soon as
possible.
{WARNING:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low.
The engine can become so hot that it catches fire.
Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon
as possible and have the vehicle serviced.
Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can
damage the engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the
maintenance schedule in this manual for changing
engine oil.
AUTO STOP
When the engine goes into Automatic Engine Stop,
the oil pressure gage drops to zero when the
tachometer is at the AUTO STOP position. This is
normal and oil pressure returns to the normal operating
range once the engine starts.
See Starting the Vehicle
on page 3‑3for more
information.
AUTO STOP displays in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) when the vehicle speed is zero.
See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑12for more information.

Oil Pressure Light
{WARNING:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low.
The engine can become so hot that it catches fire.
Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon
as possible and have the vehicle serviced.
Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can
damage the engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the
maintenance schedule in this manual for changing
engine oil.
This light comes on
briefly as a check it
works, when the ignition
is in ON/RUN. If it does
not, have the vehicle
serviced.
If the light comes on and stays on, it means that oil is
not flowing through the engine properly. The vehicle
could be low on oil and might have some other system
problem.
During an AUTO STOP there is zero oil pressure, but
this light will not come on.

When to Check and Change Automatic
Transmission Fluid
It is usually not necessary to check the transmission
fluid level. The only reason for fluid loss is a
transmission leak or overheating the transmission.
If you suspect a small leak, then use the following
checking procedures to check the fluid level. However,
if there is a large leak, then it may be necessary to have
the vehicle towed to a dealer/retailer service department
and have it repaired before driving the vehicle further.
Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic transmission
fluid may damage the vehicle, and the damages may
not be covered by the vehicle's warranty. Always
use the automatic transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7‑2.
Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in the
Maintenance Schedule. See Scheduled Maintenance in
the owner manual. Be sure to use the transmission fluid
listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on
page 7‑2.
