Oil Pressure Light If there is a problem with the oil, this light may stay on after you start the engine or come on while you are driving. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. This indicates that there is not enough oil pressure to keep the engine properly lubricated and cool. The engine could be low on oil, or have some other oil related problem. Have it fixed right away. The oil light could also come on in three other situations. • When the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the light comes on as a test to show you it is working, but the light goes out when you turn the ignition to START. If it does not come on with the ignition on, you could have a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it fixed right away. • Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the light could blink on and off. Have it checked at your dealer. • If you make a hard stop, the light could come on for a moment. Have it checked at your dealer. 173 {CAUTION: Do not 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.
