engine oil HONDA ACCORD HYBRID 2006 CL7 / 7.G Owner's Manual

Start the engine and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If it does not go
outwithin10seconds,turnoff the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired
bef ore you can continue driving
(see on page).
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. If necessary, add oil to bring the level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page ). Let the vehicle sit f or a minute.

level (see page ). An engine
very low on oil can lose pressure

maneuvers. Saf ely pull of f the road, and shut
