WARNING!
This should be considered an emergency.
You should stop the vehicle as safely as
possible and turn OFF the ignition. The ve-
hicle must be serviced and the problem cor-
rected before driving again. Failure to do so
may cause severe engine or Diesel Particu-
late Filter damage, orcause an accident
which may result in death or personal injury.
Low Oil Pressure Lamp
The low oil pressure warning lamp will
illuminate when the engine oil pressure
drops which can cause damage to the
engine.
CAUTION
Continuing to operate your vehicle with in-
sufficient oil pressure will cause serious en-
gine 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) a Red
Warning Lamp on the oil pressure gauge
will illuminate and the Stop Engine Lamp
will come ON.
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.

Engine is Overheating
The cooling system may overheat if the
coolant level is below normal or if there is
sudden loss of coolant. Follow these steps
if the engine is overheating.
CAUTION
The cooling system may overheat if the en-
gine coolant is at the minimum level. A sud-
den loss of coolant, caused by a split hose
or broken hose clamp could also lead to an
overheat condition. Always inspect to en-
sure hoses and clamps are not cracked,
worn, or loose. Failure to comply may result
in equipment or property damage.
NOTE
The system may also temporarily overheat
during severe operating conditions such as:
• Climbing a hill on a hot day.
• Stopping after high-speed/ high-
load driving.
• Debris blocking air flow through
the cooling module (radiator).
