Oil Pressure Light - Chevrolet Pontiac Wave 2007 Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Light

This indicates that your engine is not receiving
enough oil. The engine could be low on oil,
or could have some other oil problem. Have it
fixed immediately by your dealer.
The oil light could also come on in three other
situations:
•
When the ignition is on but the engine is not
running, the light will come on as a test to show
you it is working. The light will go out when you
turn the ignition on. If it does not come on with
the ignition on, you may have a problem with
the fuse or bulb. Have it fixed right away.
188
If your vehicle has low
engine oil pressure, this
light will stay on after
you start your engine, or
come on when you
are driving.
•
If you are idling at a stop sign, the light may
blink on and then off.
•
If you make a hard stop, the light may come on
for a moment. This is normal.
CAUTION:
{
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is
low. If you do, your engine can become so
hot that it catches fire. You or others could
be burned. Check your oil as soon as
possible and have your vehicle serviced.
Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
changing engine oil.
