If the vehicle has low engine oil pressure, this light will stay on after the engine has been started, or come on while driving.
This indicates that the engine is not receiving enough oil. The engine could be low on oil, or could have some other oil problem. Have it fixed immediately by your dealer/retailer.
The oil light could also come on in three other situations:
| • | When the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the light will come on as a test to show it is working. It goes out when the ignition is turned on. If it does not come on with the ignition on, there may be a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it fixed right away. |
| • | If the vehicle comes to a hard stop, the light may come on for a moment. This is normal. |
Caution: 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.
