Start the engine, and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If it does not go
out within 10 seconds, turn off the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired
before you can continue driving
(see
on page
).
Running the engine with low oil
pressure can cause serious
mechanical damage almost
immediately. Turn off the engine as
soon as you can safely get the
vehicle stopped.
Safely pull off the road, and shut
off the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning indicators.
Let the vehicle sit for a minute.
Open the bonnet, and check the oil
level (see page
). An engine
very low on oil can lose pressure
during cornering and other driving
manoeuvres.
This indicator should come on when
the ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position, and go out after the engine
starts. It should never come on red
when the engine is running. If it
turns on red and 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.
You will also see the symbol ‘‘
,’’
or this symbol with an ‘‘OIL
PRESSURE LOW’’ message on the
multi-information display (see page
).
The same design indicator may
come on amber while you are driving.
This indicates that the engine oil
level becomes low and reminds you
to check the engine oil level (see
page
). If it blinks in amber while
you are driving, there is a system
problem in the engine oil level
sensor.
If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page
on petrol
models, and page
on diesel
models).
