MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — DIESEL ENGINE

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change

indicator system. The oil change indicator system will

remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for

scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change

indicator message will illuminate in the instrument clus-

ter. This means that service is required for your vehicle.

Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer

tow, and extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will

influence when the “Oil Change Required” message is

displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the

change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles

(5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as

soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator

message after completing the scheduled oil change. If a

scheduled oil change is performed by someone other

than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by

referring to the steps described under “Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your

Instrument Panel” for further information.
NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change inter-

vals exceed 18,500 miles (29,773 km) or twelve months,

whichever comes first.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual

wear or damage

• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake

master cylinder, and power steering and fill as needed

• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
