Stop Engine Light
This warning light illuminates when the
engine has a serious problem. This is an
emergency and the vehicle should be
safely stopped at the soonest opportunity
.
WARNING
This should be considered an emer-
gency
. You should stop the vehicle as
safely as possible and turn OFF the ig-
nition. The vehicle must be serviced
and the problem corrected before driv-
ing again. Failure to do so may cause
severe engine or Diesel Particulate Fil-
ter damage, or cause an accident
which may result in death or personal
injury.
Low Oil Pressure
CAUTION
Continuing to operate your vehicle with
insuf
ficient oil pressure will cause seri-
ous engine damage. Failure to comply
may result in equipment or property
damage.
It is important to maintain oil pressure
within acceptable limits. If oil pressure
drops below the minimum psi (kPa) the oil
pressure gauge will illuminate and change
color
. Additionally, the Stop Engine Lamp
will turn red.
NOTE
The instrument cluster gauges may
appear, if hidden from view, change
brightness and change color to bring
attention to a particular system.
1. Slow down carefully.
2. Move a safe distance off the road
and stop.
3.
Place the transmission in neutral
(park with automatic transmissions,
if equipped) and set the parking
brake.
4. Turn OFF the engine.
5. Turn ON the emergency flasher
and use other warning devices to
alert other motorists.
6. Wait a few minutes to allow oil to
drain into the engine oil pan, and
then check the oil level.
7. Add oil if necessary. If the problem
persists, contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
