Service Vehicle Soon Light This light will come on briefly when the ignition is turned to ON to show that the bulb is working. Low Oil Level Light Your engine is equipped with an oil level monitoring system. When the ignition is turned to ON, the LOW OIL light will briefly come on. If the light does not flash, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem. If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface and turn the engine off. Check the oil level using the engine oil dipstick. (See "Engine Oil" in the Index.) The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level during the brief period between key on and engine crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check is only performed if the engine has been turned off for an extended period of time, allowing the oil normally in circulation to drain back into the oil pan. This light indicates problems with your vehicle that are not related to emissions. These problems may not be obvious and may affect vehicle performance and durability. Consult your dealer for necessary repairs to maintain vehicle performance. 2-81
