5-26 Instruments and Controls
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message, or code 82, will appear
on the display. See Engine Oil
Messages on page 5‑29 and
“Vehicle Messages (Canadian Base
Level)” following. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible.
See Engine Oil on page 10‑9. In
addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in
the Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 11‑2 for
more information.
Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It
will not reset itself. Also, be careful
not to reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system press the
SET/CLR button while the Oil Life
display is active. See Engine Oil
Life System on page 10‑12.
Battery Voltage
This display, available on some
vehicles, shows the current battery
voltage. If the voltage is in the
normal range, the value will display.
For example, the display may read
Battery Voltage 15.0 Volts. The
vehicle's charging system regulates
voltage based on the state of the
battery. The battery voltage can
fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal. See Charging System Light
on page 5‑13 for more information.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, the DIC will
display a message. See Battery
Voltage and Charging Messages on
page 5‑27.
