maneuvers. Saf ely pull of f the road and shut
of f the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning lights.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
outwithin10seconds,turnoff the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired
bef ore you can continue driving
(see

This indicator should never
come on when the engine is

damage is possible, and you should
take immediate action.
