BATTERY VOLTS/Battery Voltage: If you select this
item, the current battery voltage is displayed. If the
voltage is in the normal range, the display will have OK
after it. For example, the display may read 13.2 Battery
Volts OK.
If there is a problem with the battery charging system,
there are four possible DIC messages that may be
displayed. See
page 3-61 for more information.
ENGINE OIL LIFE/Engine Oil Life: If you select this
item, the percentage of remaining oil life is displayed.
If you see 99% Oil Life on the display, that means
that 99% of the current oil life remains.
When the oil life is depleted, the Change Engine Oil
message will appear on the display. You should change
the engine oil as soon as possible within 200 miles.
Be sure to keep a written record of the mileage and date
of the oil change so you will have it for future reference.
When you reset the Change Engine Oil message by
clearing it from the display, you still must reset the
engine oil life monitor separately. For more information
on resetting the engine oil life monitor, see
Oil on page 5-16.
The engine oil life monitor does not check the amount
of oil your vehicle has, so you should check the oil level
periodically. See
Engine Oil on page 5-16 for more
information.
TRANS FLUID LIFE/Transmission Fluid Life
(Automatic Transmission): If you select this item,
the percentage of remaining transmission fluid life
is displayed. If you see 99% Trans Fluid Life on the
display, that means that 99% of the current transmission
fluid life remains.
When the transmission fluid life is depleted, the Change
Transmission Fluid message will appear on the
display. You should change the transmission fluid as
soon as possible within 200 miles. Be sure to keep
a written record of the mileage and date of the fluid
change so you will have it for future reference.
When you reset the Change Transmission Fluid
message by clearing it from the display, you still must
reset the transmission fluid life monitor separately.
For more information on resetting the transmission fluid
life monitor, see
Automatic Transmission Fluid on
page 5-24.
