low, severe engine damage may
occur. If a low oil pressure
warning appears on the

DIC, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible. Do not drive the vehicle
until the cause of the low oil
pressure is corrected. See Engine

by your dealer/retailer as soon as
possible when this message is
displayed.

Engine Power Messages

ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED

This message displays when the
vehicle's engine power is reduced.
Reduced engine power can affect
the vehicle's ability to accelerate.
If this message is on, but there is no
reduction in performance, proceed
to your destination. The
performance may be reduced the
next time the vehicle is driven. The
vehicle may be driven at a reduced
speed while this message is on, but
maximum acceleration and speed
may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, the vehicle
should be taken to your dealer/
retailer for service as soon as
possible.

Fuel System Messages

FUEL LEVEL LOW

This message displays when your
vehicle is low on fuel. Refill the fuel
tank as soon as possible. See Fuel
Gage on page 5‑11
and Filling the
Tank on page 9‑50
for more
information.

TIGHTEN GAS CAP

This message may display along
with the check engine light on the
instrument panel cluster if the
vehicle's fuel cap is not tightened
properly. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 5‑15
.
Reinstall the
fuel cap fully. See Filling the Tank
on page 9‑50

The diagnostic
system can determine if the fuel cap
has been left off or improperly
installed. A loose or missing fuel
cap allows fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. A few driving trips with
the cap properly installed should
turn this light and message off.
