NOTICE:

Damage to your engine from neglected oil

problems can be costly and is not covered by

your warranty.

Check Oil Light

You will have a CHECK

OIL light in your instrument

panel cluster.

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” in the Index.

A false CHECK OIL light may be generated when

parking on steep grades.

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

only performed if the engine has been turned off for a

considerable period of time allowing the oil normally in

circulation to drain back into the oil pan.

Passlock Warning Light

This light will come on

when you turn the ignition

to ON. The light will stay

on until the engine starts.

If the light flashes, the Passlock system has entered a

tamper mode. If the vehicle fails to start, see “Passlock”

in the Index.

If the light comes on continuously while driving and

stays on, there may be a problem with the Passlock

system. Your vehicle will not be protected by Passlock,

and you should see your dealer.
