This indicator light illuminates:

  • When the engine oil pressure is low.

If the engine oil pressure is low:

1. Carefully drive to the nearest safe place and stop the vehicle.

2. Turn off the engine and check the engine oil level (refer to "Engine Oil" in Chapter 7). If the level is low, add oil as necessary.

If the warning light remains on after adding oil, or if there is no oil, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.

NOTICE

  • If the engine is not stopped immediately after the Engine Oil Pressure warning lamp illuminates, serious engine damage may result.
  • If the warning light remains on while the engine is running, serious engine damage or malfunction may have occurred. In this case:

1. Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

2. Turn off the engine and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, add engine oil to the proper level.

3. Start the engine again. If the warning light remains on after the engine starts, turn off the engine immediately. In this case, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
