items can be displayed by pressing the vehicle
information button:

OIL LIFE REMAINING

If the vehicle has this display, it shows the estimated oil
life remaining. If you see 99% OIL LIFE REMAINING on
the display, that means that 99% of the current oil life
remains.

When the oil life is depleted, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message will appear on the display. You should
change the oil as soon as possible. In addition to the
engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional

maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule in this manual. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 7‑3
and Engine Oil on page 6‑15.

Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself after
each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful

page 6‑19

The display will show 100% when the
system is reset.
