Kia Niro: Warning lights / Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light

This warning light illuminates:

• Once you set the ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop Button to the ON position.
  - It remains on until the engine is started.
• When the engine oil pressure is low.

If the engine oil pressure is low:

1.Drive carefully to the nearest safe location and stop your vehicle.

2.Turn the engine off and check the engine oil level (For more details, refer to “Engine Oil” in chapter 8). If the level is low, add oil as required.

If the warning light remains on after adding oil or if oil is not available, we recommend that you have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
