are explained in the following
information. The DIC trip odometer

Trip Information
Odometer
The odometer is automatically
displayed on the DIC when you start
the vehicle. The odometer shows
the total distance the vehicle has
been driven in either miles for the
United States or kilometers for
Canada.
Trip Odometer
Press and release the reset stem
until TRIP appears on the DIC
display. The trip odometer shows
the current distance traveled since
the last reset of the trip odometer in
either miles for the United States or
kilometers for Canada.
To reset the trip odometer, press
and hold the reset stem until the
display returns to zero.
Engine Oil Life System
With the engine off, turn the key
to ON/RUN and then press the
reset stem until OIL LIFE RESET
appears — alternating between OIL
LIFE and RESET — on the DIC
display. The CHANGE OIL message
alerts you to change the oil on a
schedule consistent with your
driving conditions. Always reset
the OIL LIFE message after an oil
change. To reset the message, see
Engine Oil Life System on
page 10‑12.
In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule in this manual. See
Engine Oil on page 10‑9 and
