Oil Pressure Light
If you have a low engine
oil pressure problem, this
light will stay on after
you start your engine,
or
come on and you will hear
a chime when you are
driving.
This indicates that your engine is not receiving enough
oil. The engine could be low on oil,
or could have
some other oil problem. Have it fixed immediately.
When the ignition is on but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as a test to show you it is working,
but the light will go out when the engine is running.
If
it doesn’t come on with the ignition on, you may have a
problem with the bulb. Have it fixed right away. Don’t keep driving if the oil pressure
is low. If
you
do, your engine can become so hot that it
catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon as possible and have
your vehicle serviced.
Notice: Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.
