Oil pressure light on at startup 3-4 seconds?

Hi all -

Just got my 2002 2.5 CRD - I've noticed that at startup the oil pressure light stays on for 3-4 seconds, shutting off right around the same time as the airbag light. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Thanks!

Add'l info: Car is in Costa Rica (warm climate) and is using Castrol Hypuron 15w40 diesel oil, just changed oil and filter and it is full. Car has around 75k miles on it.

Sounds like its just the normal idiot lights displaying on startup.

Phew! Thank you both for giving me some peace of mind. I'm still getting to know the various quirks of the car, but absolutely love it! Quite an improvement from my last vehicle, a 1989 Range Rover with a Mitsubishi diesel... After four years of living in Costa Rica I've finally got a nice truck!
