Oil Pressure Light - Pontiac Vibe 2007 Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Light

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.
If there is a problem
with the oil, this light
may stay on after
you start the engine or
come on while you
are driving.
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.
This indicates that there is not enough oil pressure
to keep the engine properly lubricated and cool.
The engine could be low on oil, or have some
other oil related problem. Have it fixed right away.
The oil light could also come on in three other
situations.
•
When the ignition is on but the engine is not
running, the light comes on as a test to
show you it is working, but the light goes out
when you turn the ignition to START. If it
does not come on with the ignition on,
you could have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.
•
Sometimes when the engine is idling at a
stop, the light could blink on and off. Have
it checked at your dealer.
•
If you make a hard stop, the light could come
on for a moment. Have it checked at your
dealer.
