LOW OIL LEVEL: This message may display on some vehicles. For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a level surface. A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the vehicle is parked on a grade. The oil level sensing system does not check for actual oil level if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and the oil level is never checked while the engine is running. If the LOW OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for a few minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface. Then check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See Engine Oil on page 5-17. LOW WASHER FLUID: This message will display when your vehicle is low on windshield washer fluid. You should refill the windshield washer fluid reservoir as soon as possible. See "Adding Washer Fluid" under Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-38.
