If you drive the vehicle
while the engine oil pressure is
low, severe engine damage may
occur. If a low oil pressure
warning appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), stop the
vehicle as soon as possible. Do
not drive the vehicle until the
cause of the low oil pressure is
corrected. See
for more information.
This message displays when the
vehicle's engine oil pressure is low.
The oil pressure light also appears
on the instrument cluster. See
Engine Oil Pressure Light on
page 5 21.
Stop the vehicle immediately, as
engine damage can result from
driving a vehicle with low oil
pressure. Have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer as soon as possible
when this message is displayed.

TIGHTEN GAS CAP
This message may display along

instrument cluster if the vehicle's
fuel cap is not tightened properly.
See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 5 16. Reinstall the fuel cap
fully. See Filling the Tank on
