TUNDRA (34413U) Oil pressure gauge NOTICE Normal driving Voltmeter Do not drive the vehicle with the oil pressure below the normal range until the cause is fixed-it may ruin the engine. Idling The oil pressure gauge indicates engine oil pressure when the ignition switch is on. Check it while driving to make sure that the needle is in the proper range. If the oil pressure should stay below the normal range, pull off the road to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance. Oil pressure may not build up when the oil level is too low. The oil pressure gauge is not designed to indicate oil level, and the oil level must be checked using the level dipstick. The voltmeter tells whether the battery is charged or discharged. Check it while the engine is running-the needle should always indicate as shown above. If the needle reads below or above the normal range while the engine is running, it indicates the charging system needs immediate repair. However, it is normal for the needle to drop below the normal range during engine starting. 87
