take immediate action.Saf ely pull of f the road, and shut
of f the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning indicators.

level (see page ). An engine
very low on oil can lose pressure
during cornering and other driving
maneuvers.
If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page ).
Start the engine, and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If it does not go
out within 10 seconds, turn of f the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired

(see on page
). If the charging system indicator
comes on brightly when the engine
is running, the battery is not being
charged.

accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
