Engine Oil Warning Indication/Warning Light

The warning light stays on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched ON.

 

This warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.

For SKYACTIV-D 2.2, the engine oil warning light also illuminates if the engine oil is extremely deteriorated.

 


Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive engine damage.

If the light illuminates while driving:

  1. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way on level ground.

  2. Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.

  3. Inspect the engine oil level (Search). If it's low, add the appropriate amount of engine oil while being careful not to overfill.

     


    Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive engine damage.
