If the vehicle has an oil problem, this light may stay
on after the engine is started, or come on while you

be low on oil or could have some other oil problem.
Have it fixed right away.
The oil light could also come on in the following
situations:
•
The light will come on briefly when the ignition
is turned on to show that it is working properly.
If it does not come on with the ignition on,
there may be a problem with the fuse or bulb.
Have it fixed right away.
•
Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop,
a chime will sound and the light may blink on
and off. This is normal.
