Pontiac Grand Prix 2001 - Manual (Page 154)

Low Oil Level Light
The engine is equipped with
an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key is turned to RUN, the
LOW OIL LEVEL light
will briefly flash.
If the light does not flash, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface
and turn the engine off. Check the oil level using the
engine oil dipstick. (See “Engine Oil” in the Index).
The oil level monitoring system only checks the oil level
during the brief period when the ignition key is between
RUN and START. 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.
Security Light
This message is
displayed to monitor the
Pass
- Key
R
III system.
If the SECURITY message is displayed continuously
while driving, there may be a problem with the
Pass
- Key III system. Your vehicle will not be protected
by Pass - Key III, and you should see your dealer for
service. For more information see “PASS - Key III
R
System” in the Index.
