It could mean low oil pressure, a possibly serious engine problem.

Ask at the dealer or order an owner's manual from the dealer.

No no no no no. No. LoL! The yellow oil light is low oil level. The red oil light is low oil pressure.
To check the transmission fluid level you must drive the car until warm, park on a level surface. Shift to all gear positions. With the engine idling, the transmission fluid level should reach the HOT mark on the dipstick.
