low oil pressure CADILLAC SEVILLE 1997 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Are you low on fuel?
As your engine starts to run
out of fuel, your engine may
not run as efficiently as designed since small amounts
of
air are sucked into the fuel line causing a misfire. The
system can detect this. Adding fuel should correct this
condition. Make sure to install the fuel
cap properly. It
will take a few driving trips to turn the light off.
Have
you recently changed brands of fuel?
If
so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel (see
“Fuel”
in the Index). Poor fuel quality will cause your
engine not to run as efficiently as designed.
You may
notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put
the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration
or stumbling on acceleration. (These conditions may go
away once the engine
is warmed up.) This will be
detected by the system and cause the light to
turn on.
If you experience one or more
of these conditions,
change the fuel brand
you use. It will require at least one
full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off.
If none of the above steps have made the light turn
off,
have your dealer or qualified service center check the
vehicle. Your dealer has the proper
test equipment and
diagnostic tools
to fix any mechanical or electrical
problems that may have developed. This light
tells you if there
could be a problem with
your engine oil pressure.
The light
goes on when you turn your key to RUN or
START. It goes off once you start your engine. That‘s a
check
to be sure the light works. If it doesn’t come on,
be sure to have
it fixed so it will be there to warn you
if something goes wrong.
When
the light comes on and stays on, it means that
oil isn’t flowing through your engine properly.
You
could be low on oil and you might have some other
system problem.

be well rested. If you
must
start when you’re not fresh -- such as after a day‘s
work
-- don’t plan to make too many miles that first part
of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you
can easily drive in.
