Default Stop and Check Light

I was wondering if someone can tell me what that light means? If I stop quickly that light comes on for a brief moment then goes out. I checked the fluids and everything seems to be in order. The light looks like a little pouring pitcher something. I checked the manual and labels this as the stop and check indicator.

Oil level? I can't picture the light you're talking about.

If it is what I think, the manual says to stop and check it.. but it is the OIL light if you look at the manual closer. Your oil pressure is dropping too low when you let the car drop to idle quickly if that is it. It will look more like a little gravy pouring dish than a pitcher

Check the oil properly (engine off, level ground, wipe the dipstick off then put it back in and out to check). If the oil level is indeed at the right place, and oil light (assuming that is what you are talking about) keeps coming on, you need to have it looked at. There are a lot of things that can cause low oil pressure, but it is not something you want to let go.
