Low Oil Level Light
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key
is
turned
on, the
LOW
OIL LEVEL light
will
briefly flash. If the light
does not flash, have it fixed
so
it will be ready to warn
you if there's a problem.
Engine Coolant Temperature Light
TEMP
This light tells you that your
engine coolant has
overheated or your radiator
cooling
fan is not working.
If the light stays on, stop th'e 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 a
considerable period of time, allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan.
If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull
off
the road, stop
your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
In "Problems on the Road," this manual shows what to
do. See "Engine Overheating" in the Index.
