Tips
The engine oil pressure symbol
~
is not an indicator for a low
engine oil level. Do not rely on it . Instead, check the oil level in your
engine at regular intervals, preferably each time you refuel, and
always before going on a long trip.
The yellow oil level warning indication
~
requires oil refill or
workshop service without delay. Do not wait until the red oil pres-
sure warning
~
starts to flash before you respond to the low oil
level warning ~- - By then, your engine may already have suffered
serious damage. •
