Service Vehicle Soon Light
This light will come on
briefly when the ignition
is turned to ON to show
that the bulb is working.
This light indicates problems with your vehicle that are
not related to emissions.
These problems may not be obvious and may affect
vehicle performance and durability. Consult your dealer
for necessary repairs to maintain vehicle performance.
Low Oil Level Light
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
is turned to ON, the LOW
OIL light will briefly
come on.
If the light does not flash, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface
and turn the engine off. Check the oil level using the
engine oil dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index.)
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for
an extended period of time, allowing the oil normally
in circulation to drain back into the oil pan.
