This indicator should never

come on when the engine is

running. If it starts flashing or stays

on, the oil pressure has dropped very

low or lost pressure. Serious engine

damage is possible, and you should

take immediate action.

You will also see a ‘‘CHECK

ENGINE OIL LEVEL’’ message on

the multi-information display when

this indicator comes on.

Running the engine with low oil

pressure can cause serious mechanical

damage almost immediately. Turn off

the engine as soon as you can safely get

the vehicle stopped.

1. Safely pull off the road, and shut

off the engine. Turn on the hazard

warning lights.

2. Let the vehicle sit for a minute.

Open the hood, and check the oil

level (see page 458). An engine

very low on oil can lose pressure

during cornering and other driving

maneuvers.

3. If necessary, add oil to bring the

level back to the full mark on the

dipstick (see page 545).

4. Start the engine, and watch the oil

pressure indicator. If it does not go

out within 10 seconds, turn off the

engine. There is a mechanical

problem that needs to be repaired

before you can continue driving

(see Emergency Towing on page

602).
