On vehicles with the optional DIC, a CHECK GAGES OIL PRESSURE message will be displayed and a warning chime will sound. See "DIC Warnings and Messages" in the Index for more information. Check Oil Level Warning Light (If Equipped) The CHECK OIL LEVEL light is part of the systems monitor. This light comes on for five seconds as a bulb check each time the ignition key is turned to RUN. If the engine oil is more than 1 quart (0.95 L) low and the engine has been shut off for at least eight minutes, the CHECK OIL LEVEL light will come on and a chime will sound the next time you start your vehicle. If the CHECK OIL LEVEL light comes on, the engine oil level should be checked at the dipstick then brought up to the proper level, if necessary. See "Engine Oil" in the Index. On vehicles with the optional DIC, the CHECK OIL LEVEL light is replaced by an OIL LEVEL LOW message. See "DIC Warnings and Messages" in the Index for more information. CAUTION: Don't keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches fire. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced. NOTICE: Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be costly and is not covered by your warranty. 2-75
