Oil warning lamp
Also known as:
- Engine oil pressure lamp
- Engine oil level lamp
- Oil pressure warning light
As a guide, if the lamp is orange in colour, this indicates that the engine oil level is low.
If the lamp is red and/or flashing, this indicates that there is little or no oil pressure. The engine must be turned off immediately to prevent severe engine damage. If the oil level is correct whilst on level ground, then the engine must not be restarted until the cause is located.
EPS - Electronic Power Steering
Also known as:
- EPAS - Electrically Powered Assisted Steering
This indicates that the EPS has detected a fault. Whilst the lamp is on, the power assisted steering may not be functioning and the steering will become much stiffer to turn. (It will be most noticeable at parking speeds.)
