Explanation

Correct answer: Check the oil level and eventaully replenish.

In the event that low oil pressure is signaled, the first and most basic step is to stop the vehicle and check the oil level using the dipstick shown in the photo (the yellow handle by the engine). Low pressure usually results from insufficient oil in the lubrication system, which risks permanent engine damage; therefore, any shortages should be refilled immediately.
