Engine oil pressure warning light

This warning light indicates that the engine oil pressure is low.

If the warning light comes on while driving:

1. Safely move to the side of the road and stop.

2. With the engine off, check the engine oil level. If the level is low, add oil as necessary.

If the warning light stays on after adding oil, or if oil is not available, we recommend that you contact an authorized Kia dealer.

CAUTION

If the engine is not stopped immediately after the engine oil pressure warning light comes on, serious engine damage may result.

CAUTION

If the oil pressure warning light comes on while the engine is running, serious engine damage may result. The oil pressure warning light comes on whenever there is insufficient oil pressure. During normal operation, it should come on when the ignition is turned ON and then go off when the engine starts. If the oil pressure warning light remains on while the engine is running, there is a serious malfunction.

If this occurs, stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so, turn off the engine, and check the oil level. If the oil level is low, add engine oil to the proper level and start the engine again. If the light remains on with the engine running, stop the engine immediately. In any case, when the oil pressure warning light comes on while the engine is running, we recommend that the system be checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
