HONDA 2006 Accord Sedan - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 251)

Start the engine and watch the oil
pressure indicator. If it does not go
out within 10 seconds, turn off the
engine. There is a mechanical
problem that needs to be repaired
before you can continue driving
(see on page
).
This indicator should never come on
when the engine is running. If it
starts flashing or stays on, the oil
pressure has dropped very low or
lost pressure. Serious engine
damage is possible, and you should
take immediate action. If necessary, add oil to bring the
level back to the full mark on the
dipstick (see page
).
Let the vehicle sit for a minute.
Open the hood, and check the oil
level (see page ). An engine
very low on oil can lose pressure
during cornering and other driving
maneuvers.
Safely pull off the road, and shut
off the engine. Turn on the hazard
warning lights. 1.
