How to Reset the CHANGE OIL Light
After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset.
To reset the CHANGE OIL light after an oil change:
1. With the ignition key in ON but the engine off, fully
push and release the accelerator pedal slowly three
times within five seconds.
2. If the CHANGE OIL light flashes, the system
is resetting.
3. Turn the key to OFF after the light has finished
flashing, then start the vehicle. If the CHANGE OIL
light comes back on, the engine oil life monitor has
not reset. Repeat the procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain
elements that may be unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw
away clothing or rags containing used engine oil. (See
the manufacturer’s warnings about the use and disposal
of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free
- flowing oil
from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If
you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
To check or replace the air filter:
1. Loosen the wing nut on
the air duct.
