not an indicator for a low engine oil lev-

oil level in your engine at regular inter-

and always before going on a long trip.
- The yellow oil level warning indication

requires oil refill or workshop serv-
ice without delay. Do not wait until the
red oil pressure warning symbol.
starts to flash before you respond to
the low oil level warning
