Engine oil pressure warning lamp

~1min read

This indicator light illuminates:

  • The light comes on as soon as the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop button is turned to the ON position.
    - It stays on until the engine starts.
  • 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 for more information). If the level is low, add oil as necessary.

If the warning light remains on after adding oil and restarting the engine, or if there is no oil, turn off the engine. There is a mechanical problem that must be repaired before you can continue driving. In this case, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
