Engine Oil Life System
The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and displays a DIC message when
it is necessary to change the engine
oil and filter.
Resetting the Oil Life System
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN,
with the engine off.
2. Press and release the stem
in the lower center of the
instrument cluster until the
“Oil Life” message is displayed.
3. Once the alternating “Oil Life”
and “Reset” messages appear,
press and hold the stem
until several beeps sound.
This confirms that the oil life
system has been reset.
4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
See Engine Oil Life System on
page 10‑11.
