Check Oil Light
(If
Equipped) Passlock Warning Light
CHECK
OIL
If
you have a
3
100 engine,
this light should come on
briefly when you start the
engine.
If
the
light doesn’t
come on, have it repaired.
If
the light comes on and
stays on after starting your
vehicle, your engine oil
level should be checked.
SECURITY
This light will come
on
briefly when you turn the
key toward the START
position. The light will stay
on until the engine starts.
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.
NOTE:
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.
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 retailer.
