OIL light in your instrument
panel cluster.
CHECK
OIL
This light will come on briefly when you start your vehicle.
If the light stays on after starting your vehicle, or comes
on and chimes while you are driving, your engine oil
level should be checked.
Prior to checking the oil level, be sure your vehicle has
been shut
off for several minutes and is on a level
surface, Check the oil level on your dipstick and bring it
to the proper level. See
Engine Oil on page 5-73.
A false CHECK OIL light may be generated when
parking on steep gracies.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when
the engine
is running. Additionally, an oil level check is
a considerable period
of time allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan.
