If equipped, this gauge indicates vacuum
during light to moderate throttle and boost
under heavier throttle.
It displays the air pressure level in the
intake manifold before it enters the engine's
combustion chamber.
The gauge is automatically centered at zero
every time the engine is started. Actual
vacuum or boost is displayed from this zero
point. Changes in ambient pressure, such as
driving in mountains and changing weather,
will slightly change the zero reading.

The engine oil pressure gauge shows the
engine oil pressure in kPa (kilopascals) when
the engine is running.
Oil pressure can vary with engine speed,
outside temperature and oil viscosity.
On some models, the oil pump will vary
engine oil pressure according to engine
needs. Oil pressure may change quickly as
the engine speed or load varies. This is
normal.
If the oil pressure warning light or Driver
Information Center (DIC) message indicates
oil pressure outside the normal operating
range, check the engine oil as soon as
possible. SeeEngine Oil0235.
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
can damage the engine. Driving with the
engine oil low can also damage the
engine. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil
level as soon as possible. Add oil if
required, but if the oil level is within the
operating range and the oil pressure is
still low, have the vehicle serviced.
Always follow the maintenance schedule
for changing engine oil.

When the Light Flashes First and Then Is On
Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute and
then stays on, there may be a problem with
the TPMS. If the problem is not corrected,
the light will come on every time the
vehicle is started. SeeTire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0271.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
Caution
Driving the vehicle with low engine oil
pressure can damage the engine and the
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
If the engine oil pressure light comes on
while driving:
1. Stop in a safe location and turn off the engine.
2. Check the oil level. See Engine Oil
0 235.
3. Add oil if the oil level is below the normal operating range.

Caution (Continued)
4. Restart the vehicle. If the engine oilpressure light stays on for more
than 10 seconds, turn the vehicle
back off. Do not restart the vehicle.
See your dealer for service.
This light should come on briefly when the
engine starts. When the engine is off and
the vehicle is on, the light should remain
illuminated. If it does not come on under
either condition, contact your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on when the
engine is running, it may not have adequate
oil pressure. The oil level may be low or
there may be some other oil system
problem. Turn the engine off when it is safe
to do so and contact your dealer.
Low Fuel Warning Light
A Low Fuel Warning Light near the fuel
gauge comes on briefly when the ignition is
turned on as a check to show it is working.
It also comes on when the fuel gauge
indicator nears empty. The light turns off
when fuel is added. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced.
Security Light
The security light should come on briefly as
the engine is started. If it does not come on,
have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the system is working normally, the
indicator light turns off.

Oil Life : Displays an estimate of the oil's
remaining useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE
99% is displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low, the
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will
appear on the display. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil
0 235. In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended. See
Maintenance Schedule 0300.
The Oil Life display must be reset after each
oil change. It will not reset itself. Do not
reset the Oil Life display accidentally at any
time other than when the oil has just been
changed. It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the engine oil
life system, see Engine Oil Life System
0 237.
Air Filter Life : If equipped, shows an
estimate of the engine air filter’s remaining
useful life and the state of the system.
Engine Air Filter Life 95% means 95% of the current air filter life remains. Messages will
display based on the engine air filter life
and the state of the system. When the
REPLACE AT NEXT OIL CHANGE message
displays, the engine air filter should be
replaced at the time of the next oil change.
When the REPLACE NOW message displays,
the engine air filter should be replaced as
soon as possible.
The Air Filter Life display must be reset after
the engine air filter replacement. To reset,

is low, the value for that tire is shown in
amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor System
