Metric
For vehicles with the oil pressure
gauge, it is located in front of the
shifter, and shows the engine oil
pressure in kPa (kilopascals) or
psi (pounds per square inch) when
the engine is running.
Oil pressure may vary with engine
speed, outside temperature and
oil viscosity, but readings above
the low pressure zone indicate
the normal operating range. When
the oil pressure reaches the low
pressure zone, a message appears
in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Engine Oil Messages on
page 5‑36 and Engine Oil on
page 10‑10 for more information.

WARNING
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 for changing engine oil.
A reading in the low pressure zone
can be caused by a dangerously
low oil level or some other problem
causing low oil pressure. Check the
oil as soon as possible.
