The oil pressure indicator tells you if you have the correct oil pressure in your engine to operate your vehicle.

Under normal conditions the indicator should read slightly above the half way point.

If your oil pressure falls too low, the indicator will read at the low setting in the red zone.

If this occurs, you should have your vehicle serviced immediately.

Caution: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. The engine can become so hot that it catches fire. Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon as possible and have the vehicle serviced.

Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil.
