“CHANGE OIL” MESSAGE

• If a “Change Oil” message appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next

required oil change.

Resetting The Light After Servicing

Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™

• Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the

ignition to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine.)

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.

• Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return

the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.

Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine.)

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action:

• On the highways — slow down.

• In city traffic — while stopped, shift the transmission to NEUTRAL, but do not increase

engine idle speed.

NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:

• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine

cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.

• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor

and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
